Renewing Items

Physical Materials

If your account is in good standing, you can renew items online by logging in to My Account with your library card number and your password. You can also renew items in person at an APL location or by calling Customer Service at 512‑974‑7475.

When you renew an item, the new due date is three weeks from the day you renew it. You can renew Austin Public Library items two times, unless:

• Someone else has a hold on the item
• The item was checked out for 6 weeks on a Group Card
• Your account is not in good standing

Automatic Renewals

The library will try to renew items for you automatically in the morning on the day they are due. Items will not be renewed automatically if:

• Another person has requested them
• You already reached the renewal limit
• Your account is not in good standing

If you have an email address on your account, you will get an email with your new due dates when items are renewed. If items cannot be renewed, you will get the usual reminder email instead.

eBooks, eAudiobooks, & all Digital Resources

Varies by platform, please check the platform's Digital Resource page for renewal information.
