Life moves so fast, and we get that. We understand how a few days can slip by and all of a sudden you have overdue library items. Going Fine Free was a step in the right direction. We now offer Automatic Renewals on eligible items. On the day your items are due, if they have not been returned, they will be automatically renewed! The only exceptions are items that have holds waiting for other patrons and items that have already been renewed four times which is the maximum number of renewals. Patrons signed up for e-mail notifications will receive an e-mail stating which items have been successfully renewed. If you are not signed up for e-mails and would like to be, please stop in and ask any staff member to update your information.
