Renewing Items

All items will automatically renew three days before they are overdue (up to three renewals if there are no reserves on the item). The new renewal due date will be the full loan period added to the original due date.

Renewal Problems

Items may not be renewed in any of the following situations:

  • If there is an open hold on your item for another customer.
  • If the item is several days past due, you will not be able to renew using the automated service and must contact the branch.
  • If your account has expired, you may not renew items until you have updated your record at your branch library (please bring a photo ID).
  • If your account is delinquent for fines and/or long overdue items, you will not be able to renew any materials until the delinquency is resolved.
  • If you have materials which have been renewed their maximum number of times.
  • If the item is checked out on another card.
  • Items borrowed through Marina may be renewed only once.
  • Interlibrary Loan materials (from outside of Marina) cannot be renewed unless requested and agreed to by the lending system in advance of borrowing.
