What happens if I don't renew an item?

If you do not return an item by the date it is due back to us, and you do not renew it, there will be a charge.  This is based on how many items you have and how many days they are late.  See the library charges page for more information.

What if someone else wants an item I have borrowed?

We will reserve the item for them so that when it is returned to the library we will let them know.  This means that you will not be able to renew that item beyond the original loan period.
