Automatic renewals
Darebin Libraries has introduced automatic renewals for a maximum of two additional loan periods. This means that on the due date, if:
- the item(s) isn’t reserved by another library member, or
- the item(s) hasn’t already been renewed twice
your item will be automatically renewed for another 3 weeks. Learn more here.
Lost and damaged charges still apply.
