Notes for the Renewal of Borrowed Library Materials

  • Users are advised to renew their loan items online at least one working day before the due date, so that they can return the items to the library in time in case the renewal is unsuccessful.
  • A new loan period is calculated from the day the item is renewed. The new due date will not be extended even if an early renewal is made. For example, an item with 14-day loan period is due on the 9th day of the month, if it is renewed on the 6th day, the new due date will be the 20th day instead of the 22nd day.
  • Users may renew borrowed items at the self-check machine or the Circulation Counter.
  • Most items can be renewed online except if:
    • An item is requested by another user
    • An item is overdue
    • An item has reached the maximum renewal limit
    • An item is on 2- or 4-hours loan period
    • An item has been declared lost and billed for replacement
    • The borrower whose borrowing privilege has been suspended or terminated
    • Borrower's account has outstanding charges that exceed the prescribed limit of $700
