May I renew an item?
Answer
Likely, yes. Most books can be renewed up to four times if no one is waiting for them. If another patron has the item on hold, renewal is not possible.
Certain types of materials may only be eligible for one renewal, and some may not be renewed at all. See our complete list of borrowing rules for details.
Renewal can be done online, at a service desk in the library, or by phone at 785-843-3833.
To renew online, visit our website and login with your library card number (or username) and PIN.
