If you are not done with a book, TV series or other physical item before its due date, try to renew it for more time. Renewal is not always possible, usually because another person has a hold on it. See all reasons why an item cannot be renewed.
Tip: Eligible physical items will automatically renew at 5:00 AM on the day they are due without you having to take any action. This does not include items with holds or items that have reached their renewal limit of 2 times per checkout. A due today notification will go out at 6:00 AM for items that cannot be renewed. You can still manually renew items as well in all the ways listed below.
Items eligible for renewal...
- Can be renewed 2 times.
- Get 3 weeks each renewal, calculated from the date renewed.
