Auto Renewals are Coming!
We’re excited to introduce automatic renewals, making it easier than ever to enjoy your library materials without worrying about due dates.
Starting Saturday, May 15, eligible items on your account will be automatically renewed before their due date—no action required.
What you need to know:
- Items will automatically renew if: there are no holds on the item, and the item has not reached its maximum number of renewals
- If an item cannot be renewed, you’ll be responsible for returning it by the due date
- You can still renew items yourself at any time
- What this means for you
- No need to manually renew most items
- More time to enjoy your materials, and
- Fewer overdue items.
Check your due dates regularly through your online account or by contacting us.
If you have any questions, please reach out—we’re happy to help!
