How do I renew library materials?
Answer
The Lafayette Public Library has automatic renewals. Here’s how our automatic renewal service works:
- Non-digital items will automatically renew before they are overdue letting you return them at your convenience.
- All items have a renewal limit. Video games, puzzles, board games, Kilowatt EZ meters, and air quality monitors can be renewed once. Musical instruments and adventure kits cannot be renewed. If an item reaches its renewal limit or if another patron has placed a hold on the item, then it will not renew. You will receive an overdue notification ahead of the item’s due date along with a 14-day grace period to return the item.
- Late fees will apply when an item’s renewal limit is reached and the item has not been returned within the grace period.
Most library materials, except for special items, can be renewed up to six times, as long as no one else has requested that item and the patron’s account is clear of charges. Items can be renewed on our website (click on My Account on the top right side of the online catalog page), on our LPL Mobile app, or by calling 261-5784 during regular business hours. Items can be renewed after the due date; however, late fees are charged if renewed after the grace period.
