Renewals

Renewals are available online on our catalog, or you may call (714) 528-1906. To log in to your account on the catalog, enter your library card number and your PIN, which is usually the last four digits of your phone number.

Patrons may renew eligible items twice unless the items are requested by another patron.

*If a borrower does not manually renew an item, and there are no requests for that item, it will be automatically renewed up to two times. Borrowers are notified by email when an item automatically renews. Auto-renewals require that the patron have an email address in their account. If the patron does not have an email address, their items will not be renewed automatically.
