How to Renew Items

There are several ways to renew a library item:

  2. By phone, using the automated telephone renewal system called teleservice. The number for teleservice is (420-5775).
  3. Online, by accessing your library account. Put a checkmark in the box(es) beside the item(s) that you want to renew and click on the Renew Items button.
