Renewing Items

You need your library card to renew items. If you wish to renew your items online, you will also need a password. Most items may be renewed once for the same time period as the original loan, unless another person has requested the item.

To Renew by Phone
Call the library at 775-782-9841 (Minden) or 775-588-6411 (Lake Tahoe) with your library card number.

To Renew Online

  1. Go to "My Account" in the Library Catalog.
  2. Enter your bar code (library card) number (with no spaces) and your password and click "Log In."
  3. Select "Items Out."
  4. Mark the items you want to renew by clicking in the check box to the left of each item.
  5. Select the "renew selected items" button at the bottom of the screen.
  6. The system will not allow renewals for items that have been requested by another person.
  7. Don't forget to click on the "Log Out" button at the bottom of the screen when you are done.

If you follow these instructions but are not able to renew, please call either library to renew by phone.

To Renew in Person
Bring the item(s) in to either branch and take to the front desk with your library card.
