Auto-Renewal

This convenient service will automatically renew your eligible items on the due date to give you a few extra days to finish that last chapter or re-read a picture book one last time without the worry of overdues or fines.

Library items will be automatically renewed two (2) days before the due date as long as there are no holds on the item and the item can be renewed. Some additional restrictions apply. Please read below for additional details about this service.
