Renewing Your Loans
Automatic renewals
We will automatically renew your loans one week before they are due. Loans will not be renewed if:
- there are active reservations
- your library account is due to expire
- your loan has already been renewed 99 times - in this case, if you still want to keep the book, you'll need to bring it into the Library to return and re-issue it
If any of your loans have been recalled because they have been reserved, they will not be renewed and you will receive an email notification from the Library to let you know this. You also won't be able to renew the item manually.
Note: if there are multiple copies of the reserved item, only the borrower of the copy due back soonest will receive a notification, however no-one who has borrowed a copy of the item will be able to renew their loan until the reservation request has been satisfied.
You will receive an emailed reminder of any books that we have not been able to renew two days before they are due to be returned. It's still worth checking My Account though, as the issue that originally prevented an automatic renewal may have been resolved.
