Renewing borrowed items at Georgina Public Library is easy. If you are late returning items or items are lost or damaged, you will be charged a fine.
How to renew materials
- You may renew materials by clicking on My Account in our online catalogue
- Renewals may also be made in person or by phone
- Materials may be renewed for two additional loan periods (see exceptions below)
- Renewals made past the due date will have accrued fines
Exceptions
Some items may not be renewable for the following reasons:
- your card has been blocked due to maximum fines owing or having too many overdue items
- a hold has been placed on the item by another patron
- Express items may not be renewed
Fines
Fines are charged on items that are not returned or renewed by their due dates. Charges vary based on the item borrowed and the type of card used to borrow the item.
