AUTOMATIC RENEWAL F.A.Q.

What are automatic renewals?

Each time you check an item out, it’s given a due date. Your borrowed item needs to be returned to the library by that date. In many cases, though, the item can be renewed to extend the original due date. Automatic renewal grants these due date extensions for eligible items without any extra effort on your part.

When will my borrowed item automatically renew?

Our system will renew your item on its due date.  If the borrowed item can’t be automatically renewed at that time, you’ll continue receiving notices about its due date or overdue status.

How will I know if my borrowed item was automatically renewed?

There are several ways to find the due date for an item you’ve borrowed:

– Check your email for circulation notices from the library.

– Log in to your Online Account

– Speak to a staff member over the phone or in person during your local library’s regular hours.

Why wasn’t my borrowed item automatically renewed?

Some library items aren’t eligible for automatic renewal. A borrowed item won’t be automatically renewed if it’s:

– On Hold for someone else.

– Already been renewed the maximum number of times (most types of items may be renewed up to to six times).

– Checked out by someone whose library card isn’t in good standing, including those who owe $10 or more in fines and fees.

– Part of a special collection (i.e. The Best Seller’s Collection).

– A digital item such as an e-Book.
