As long as an item is not requested by another user, you may renew it for another borrowing period. You may not renew overdue items. Remember that renewed loan period starts from the day you make the renewal procedures, not from the original due date.

If you use MyAccount you can renew your borrowing items by your own.

[In person]
Go to the circulation desk and present your library-user ID and the material you would like to renew.

Returning
