Renewals:

You can renew an item directly by using the Log into Your Patron Record function on the library catalogue. Or there are a number of renewal options available, including online, by telephone, or from a loans desk.

Holds/Requests:

If an item you need is on loan to another person and is not marked "Overnight Loan" or "RR", you can place a hold on it directly using the "Request" button in its own particular entry in the Library Catalogue. You can also ask the library staff to do this for you. This will reserve the item for you when it returns to the library.
