Renew books for three additional loan periods and audio visuals for two additional loan periods if no one requests the item. Contact us or renew online at MyLibrary. To renew your items online, enter your name, as it is entered in the Millenium database, and borrower's number or PID. You are now in your account where you can renew your checked out items. You can also use MyLibrary to save a reading history of the books you check out.
You may also bring books to the User Services Desk or the circulation desk of any other campus library to recheck out the book and restart the renewals online. Circumstances such as book recalls, outstanding fines, or an expired borrower's card may prevent online renewal.
