Renewals

Effective July 7, 2022, many Addison Public Library items will automatically renew when you check them out! This means you no longer have to remember to renew items you want to keep for longer than the original loan period. This also means you have more time to enjoy the items you borrow! 

Most library items can be renewed up to two times as long as no other patrons have a hold on the item. For example, when you borrow a book with a loan period of 4 weeks, the item can renew up to two times, which means you can get an additional 8 weeks to enjoy the book. If another patron puts a hold on your book after its first automatic renewal, the item you borrowed will not renew a second time.

The following items are not renewable: 

• Items that another patron has on hold 
• Lucky Day DVDs and Blu-rays 
• Lucky Day books 
• Interlibrary loan items

When an item has been automatically renewed, you will receive a courtesy notice 3 days before the item’s original due date. The notice will let you know that your item has been renewed and when it needs to be returned. You can also check due dates for items you borrow by logging into your library account at discover.addisonlibrary.org.
