Renewing Your Library Materials

Avoid replacement costs and a $25 Billing Charge by renewing your library materials before they are billed for replacement. The most convenient way to renew your materials is online by logging in to your Library Account .

Renewal limits vary according to the type of material checked out. For detailed information, please see Loan Periods, Renewals, and Overdue Charges.

Materials will NOT renew until at least 7 days before the due date. Please keep in mind that early renewals reduce your total loan period on the renewed item.

IMPORTANT:  Materials will not renew if there are holds on them. Although renewals are frequently possible, they cannot be guaranteed. Check your Library Account for all due dates.
