If you don't sign into your local library to download it then the book will go to the next person on the list.
Once you download it to your reader you have anywhere from 1 to 3 weeks to read it. It depends on what your library offers and what you've selected.
You will get free classics books or books out of copyright on many sites. Popular, current, still in copyright books have to be purchased or borrowed from the library. Anywhere offering you free books that are current/popular/newly released are what is referred to as torrent copies. [not legal]

I use our local public library all the time with the help of OverDrive . They always have good reads , not always available but the wait list usually isn't very long. We can checkout a book for either 1 week or 2 weeks.
