Renewals
All borrowers may renew general stacks and other specific collections materials online using My Library Account or in person at the Check Out Desk. (View Create a Password tutorial.)
Renewing extends due dates from the date renewed, not the date due.
Online renewals are not possible when:
- The borrowers account has expired. No renewal due date will extend past the account expiration date.
- When specific items have been requested by other borrowers.
- For UNCG Staff, when the borrower owes library fines or fees which must be satisfied at the time of renewal.
- Items have been billed for replacement. (Billed items will be listed under the Charges tab of online accounts and must be returned to the lending library to renew.)
Renewing online and at a service desk both count towards the number of times an item can be renewed consecutively.
Reserve materials may not be renewed online. 3-day and 1-week reserves may be renewed once in person at the Check Out Desk.
