Renewing titles or requesting them again
If you haven't finished a title you've borrowed, you can renew it or request it again up to three days before the due date:
- If there are no holds on the title and your library still owns a copy of it, you'll see the Renew option for the title.
- If the title has holds, you'll see the Request again option for the title. This action places the title on hold. Like other holds, you'll find it on your Holds page, and you'll get an email when it's available to borrow.
How to renew a title
- In your library's digital collection, select
to go to your Loans page.
If prompted, sign in. - Select the Renew button under the title you'd like to renew.
- Choose an option for the length of the renewal (if available). Then, tap Renew again.
Note: Any time left on your current lending period is canceled when you renew a title. For example, if a title expires in two days and you renew it for seven days, the new due date will be seven days from the moment you renew.
- After you renew the title, you'll see the new due date and options to open or download it.
- If you downloaded the title originally, you'll need to download it again to apply the new due date.
- If you sent the title to Kindle (U.S. only), you'll need to return it from your Amazon account, then send it to Kindle from your library again to apply the new due date.
How to request a title again
- In your library's digital collection, select to go to your Loans page.
If prompted, sign in. - Select the Request again button under the title you'd like to request.
- If prompted, enter and confirm your email address in the pop-up window.
