To extend your borrowing time or avoid late fees, renew materials on or before their due date.

In order to keep your materials after the due date, please bring them into a library to be checked out again.

Materials automatically renew from the time you check them out. Once you receive an email stating the due date of an item, then they must be brought in to be renewed.
