How do I renew my loans?

Some of my loans are under a heading non-renewable - can I renew them?

There are a number of reasons why your items are listed as non-renewable, for example they have been requested by someone else, or they have been renewed the maximum number of times without being seen in a library. The maximum number of renewal is 10 in Bedford Borough and Central Bedfordshire Libraries, and from 2nd April 2012 Luton Libraries allow 5 renewals.
Please Contact Us to renew these items - stating your name and library card number.  In the two instances above you will be given a grace period to enable you to return the item to the library.

Renewing Inter-Library Loans

If you have books on loan that have been borrowed from another library service (excluding Bedford Borough, Central Bedfordshire and Luton Libraries) you will not be able to renew it online.  This is because the books are loaned to us for a set period of time, so we need to check that it is still within date and if not ask the loaning authority for permission to extend the loan period.

I have my children's cards linked to mine - can I renew their loans too?

Yes you can.  If your child's card is linked to yours their name will appear below your loans under the heading 'Your Guarantee's'. Click on their name to see their loans and follow the same renewing process.  To return to your loans summary click on the 'Loans and Renewals' link on the navigation.

Renewals Confirmation page

This page shows you the items that have been renewed and the date they are now due back. If there are any costs involved, such as overdue or hire charges these will be shown here.

To return to your summary click on Loans and Renewals on the navigation, or select one of the other links. 
Don't forget to 'Sign Out' when you are finished.
