Renewing Materials

You may renew most materials once unless someone is waiting for an item. There are 3 ways to renew materials--in person, by telephone, and online. When you renew, please have your library card in front of you and the barcode of item(s) to be renewed. For telephone renewals, please call 224-3155 ext. 110. Express books are not renewable. Certain interlibrary loans are not renewable by telephone.

How to Renew Online

  2. Enter the 14-digit barcode (no spaces) from your library card. Enter CHANGEME in the PIN box, unless you previously had chosen another password. Click the "List Charged Items" button.
  3. Check the box next to each item you would like to renew and click the "Renew Selected Items" button.
  4. The following screen will indicate your new due date(s). It also will tell you if your items are not eligible for renewal. Click "OK."
