Renewals
Renew your library materials in person, online, or by written request.

View Your Record
You may view your own circulation record in the My Account page of the Five Colleges Libraries Catalog.

From your account you will be able to:

• Renew your Books;
• Check to see what books you have out and their due dates;
• Learn if any of your books have been recalled;
• Determine if any books are being held for you; and
• Determine if you have any fines or overdues.

Renew Your Books
You will not be able to renew your books online if you have a book replacement charge, a recalled item, or have used the maximum number of renewals. Instead, bring the materials to the Library.
