Renewals

Renewals may be requested in-person, over the telephone, or through the “My Account” feature in the Catalog.
Items are automatically renewed two times during their normal checkout period.
Automatic renewals are for Albany Public Library items only.
The renewal period begins on the day the item is renewed.
No item with an outstanding hold may be renewed.
No item overdue more than seven days can be renewed except when searching for a lost item.
Nonrenewable items must be reshelved before they can be checked out again.

Login to your library account using your library card number and birth date as shown, and click “LOG IN.” (need help?)
Click on the “Items Checked Out” tab.
Click on the box to the left of each title you wish to renew.
At the top of the list of your checkouts, click the “Go” button next to the “Renew Selected Titles” drop down menu. A pop-up message will appear asking if you’re sure you want to renew; select “OK” or cancel.
A message will appear at the top of the list of check-outs stating how many items were successfully renewed, and/or how many items failed to renew (in red).
