There may be multiple copies of a book available in the Internet Archive, so if the link we provide takes you to a copy that is currently checked out, you may want to search the Internet Archive for additional copies.

If the book is only available to borrow by the hour, you can usually borrow it as many times as you need to. You may want to search the Internet Archive to see if any copies are available for 14-day borrow (we try to link to those if we can find them), which will allow you to download it.

For detailed info on how to borrow books from the Internet Archive, see their guide.
