This is the model publishers negotiated with many eBook vendors so that libraries could provide access to eBooks. As a result, borrowing most eBooks in Libby or BorrowBox is similar to checking out physical books – one copy at a time per patron. If another patron has already checked out an eBook, you may put a hold on it. Some select titles allow multiple people to borrow at one time, with no holds and no waiting.
The loan has expired, so the app has deleted it.
