the overdrive software - which supports holds, checkouts , renewals, wish lists...appears identical at all the library sites I've inspected.
the only customisations appear to be with how many books, holds etc you can have at any one time.
With my local site, I can place a hold, I then get am email when it's available & I then have 72 hours to check it out before it goes back on the "shelves". it would be absolute nonsense to offer ebooks without offering online checkout & returns
so it is going to be the same everywhere, you need a card number & PIN (from the library)an email address, and a PC or device that is set up for Adobe DRM, then you are good to go
