With an open (ie DRM-free) library epub you can read the file forever lending period or not (same with DRM-free library audiobooks). It's up to the borrower to delete it when the lending period ends, there's no mechanism that keeps you from continue to use it like there is with DRM'd library books. The only exception might be if you're using OverDrive's app (it may prompt you to delete the book?) instead of downloading the ePub and using it on your favorite reader or app.
