Starting in May of 2024, the Irondequoit Library and all other libraries in the Monroe County Library System introduced Automatic Renewals.
Now, eligible items will automatically renew with a courtesy notice sent via email to let you know which items you have checked out have been renewed. Below is additional information about Automatic Renewal.
What is Automatic Renewal?
With Automatic Renewal, you will no longer have to remember to renew most books, DVDs, or other physical items you have borrowed from MCLS libraries. If the item is eligible to be renewed, it will be automatically renewed for you four days before its due date. Loan periods will extend from their current due dates. Renewal periods will be the same length as the original loan period. Eligible items can be renewed up to two times automatically.
How Do Automatic Renewals Work?
Four days before an item is due, the item will be automatically renewed if:
— No other patrons are waiting for a hold on that item
— There are remaining loan periods available for the item
— Your library account is in good standing
— Borrowed item is eligible for general renewal (manual or automatic)
Text notifications for Automatic Renewal are not available at this time. If you have any questions, please contact the library and we will gladly assist you.
Which Items Automatically Renew?
Most physical items (Books, DVDs, audiobooks, CDs, etc.) are eligible for up to two automatic renewals, as long as another person has not placed a hold and your account is in good standing.
