Frequently asked questions
How many times can I renew a book?
You can renew a book 4 times provided no other member has placed a reservation on the book.
How do I get a PIN number to use the online renewals service?
You can use the online functionality to reset your PIN — see guidance provided.
Why has the system failed to renew my book(s)?
The system will not renew books if a reservation has been placed on the book by another user or if you have reached the maximum number of renewals.
When can I renew my book(s)?
Books are eligible for online renewals from seven days before the due date. For example, if your book is due on Tuesday 12 July, you won’t be able to renew it online until Wednesday 6 July.
