A patron asked, What are my options for renewing library materials?

Renewals on most items are available for two additional loan periods, if no holds are pending and the item has not been billed for replacement. However, neither eBooks nor eAudiobooks can be renewed, nor can Hot Picks. To request a renewal of an Interlibrary Loan item, contact a Reference Desk at 847-362-2330.

Renewals of other items may be done in person, online in your library account, or by calling 847-362-0438. You will be asked for your library card number and the barcodes of the items when you call.

Here's the scoop on renewing online:

1. Go to My Account.

2. Select the materials you want to renew by checking the boxes in the RENEW column and then click the Renew Selected button. To renew everything at once, click the Renew All button.

3. A confirmation screen will appear. Confirm that you want to renew the items listed by clicking the Yes button.

4. Check the STATUS column for information on the success or failure of each renewal. If the renewal is successful, a new due date will appear in the STATUS column.
