The St. Catharines Public Library offers a number of methods for patrons to renew items and check patron information. Items are renewed for 7 days from the date the item renewal is performed. Items cannot be renewed if the item is on hold for another patron.
Items may be renewed up to 5 times if not on hold for another patron.
Patrons can NOT self-renew and must call any branch to renew if any of the following conditions occur:
- 10 or more overdue items
- Owe more than $10.00
- Non-resident card has expired
- Have reached maximum borrowing limits for certain items (i.e. have 5 DVDs checked out)
