A-5.1 Renewal PoliciesA. Renewals are allowed only if the item is not on hold and is not a browser copy.B. Two renewals for each item is allowed. However, if a patron presents overriding reasons for needing to renew an item, discretionary dispensation of the rule may be granted if the item is not on hold. The date may be changed to give the patron one week of additional time for vacation or other special circumstances. A patron also has the option to have an item that has been renewed twice (and not currently on hold for another patron) checked in, and then the item can be checked out on another patron’s card, usually that of a family member. In this case the item must be present to check in and back out. If other copies are available for check out, the item may be renewed a second time. If an overdue item is renewed and the fine is not paid at time of renewal, the message RBP/IOF should be placed on the patrons record.
