Renewing borrowed items at Georgina Public Library is easy. If you lose or damage items, you will be charged replacement fees.
How to renew materials
- You may renew materials by clicking on My Account in our online catalogue
- Renew items logging into your account through our catalogue or contact us.
- Materials may be renewed for two additional loan periods (see exceptions below)
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
We are running a Fine-Free pilot project until December 2021. What does this mean for you? No fines for overdue library materials! You will still have to pay for lost or damaged library materials, as outlined in the chart below. Items are considered lost if they are more than one month overdue, so remember to return or renew your materials on time.
Lost or damaged items
Lost or damaged items are subject to fines.

Borrowers with lost or long overdue materials will be billed for the replacement cost of the item, plus the fine, plus a non-refundable $5.00 per item administration fee.
Once paid, if you find the lost or long overdue material within six months of the due date, and return it in usable condition, you will be charged the maximum fine owing plus the administration fee.
Blocked accounts
Adult cards are blocked when the fees owing reach $15.00 and juvenile cards are blocked when the fees owing reach $10.00.
