Other ways to renew your library items

You can renew your library items:

• Over the phone: 0300 303 8876, Monday-Friday 8.30am-5.30pm. We're closed for training on Monday between 11am-11.30am. You'll need your library card number when you ring.
• In person: you can renew your loans at any library in the borough. You'll need to bring your library card with you but you don't have to bring the items you want to renew. Find your nearest library.

Library items which can't be renewed

You won't be able to renew your library items if:

• An item has been reserved by someone else.
• You've renewed an item 10 times already. Once you've renewed 10 times, you'll need to bring the item back to the library for us to check. You may be able to borrow the item again immediately, depending on demand.
