View your library record online -- 
your checked-out items, fines, holds, and even renew items here!

Go to View Your Record and fill in your personal information:

  • Your name
  • Your 14-digit library barcode number (on your library card)

Click on "Display Record for Person Named Above." The top part of the split screen shows your contact information, and buttons for "Items Currently Checked Out" and "Requests (holds) outstanding" (click to view them in the lower half of the screen).

Tip! The two parts of the screen are divided by a grey bar. To see the top half, click + hold the left mouse key on the bar and drag it down.

TO RENEW ITEMS ONLINE follow instructions above, then click on "Items Currently Checked Out" in the top half of the split screen. Click to put a check in the white box next to each title you wish to renew and then "Renew Selected Items", or click on "Renew All." The new due date appears under Status. 

You may also use our new automated Telephone Renewal Service (TRS) to renew by phone 24 hours per day, 7 days per week. Call 871-1734 or 871-1762 directly and follow the instructions. 

The following guidelines apply to all renewals:

  • Books, audiobooks, CDs, and videos may be renewed once if there is no one waiting on hold for the item. For items with a 3-week loan period, you may renew anytime after the first week you have it out. 
  • Renewal due dates are based from the date you renew (not the original due date).
  • If you have overdue items or fines totaling more than $3 on your account, to renew you must speak with a Circulation staffperson by phone at 871-1700 *3 or in person (not online or via the 24 hour service). 

See Guidelines for Borrowing for more information.  

IMPORTANT WARNING: If you are using a public computer, to ensure the privacy of your patron information, exit by clicking the "Start Over" button.
