Renewal

Stack books, including new books, can be renewed twice. Reserve books can also be renewed twice. However, if a stack book or reserve book has a hold it can't be renewed.

You may renew library materials in-person, online or by phone.

Sign in to your library account to renew online. Sign in the same way you signed in to request your books. Select "My Loans" from the dropdown to see the books you have checked out and to determine which ones can be renewed.

Materials may also be renewed by telephone. Call 562-860-2451 x2424 to renew by phone.

You can email staff if you have questions about renewals, fines, or holds.

Return

Books, DVDs, and calculators with their charging cable may be returned to the outside book drop located next to the lockers or in the library bookdrop. No overdue fines will be charged, but there will be replacement charges for materials that are not returned.

Please note: Books will be checked-in Monday-Thursday. Books returned after 1pm will not come off your record until the next day the library is open. Books returned after 1pm on Thursday will remain on your record until the following Monday. But don't worry, there won't be any fines and you should not get an overdue notice unless the book was already quite overdue when it was returned.
