How do I renew my books?
Answer:
We know it can sometimes be difficult to finish the books we have checked out before their due date - that's where renewals come in. You can renew books, audiobooks, playaways, and music CDs up to 2 times per item. That means you can have items checked out for up to 63 days! To renew your items, you can use the following options:
- Renew your items yourself: online.
- Visit your online account by going to https://rogersplar.booksys.net/opac/rpl/index.html and logging in with the icon of a person in the upper right corner.
- Your username is your library card number, and your password is your PIN.
- Navigate to your account dashboard, and click the "renew" button under the item you wish to renew.
- The due date for your item will be updated.
- Renew your items yourself: in the app.
- Download the Librista app from your phone's app store.
- Log into your account - your username is your library card number, and your password is your PIN.
- Access your account dashboard by tapping the three lines in the upper left corner and tapping "Account."
- Tap on the cover image of the item you want to renew, and then tap the "Renew" button.
- The due date for your item will be updated.
- Renew your items yourself: self-checkout.
- Log into your account by scanning your library card, and tapping on "Go to Account."
- Tap the box that tells you how many items you have checked out.
- Tap the checkbox next to the item you want to renew, and tap the "Renew" button in the bottom right of the screen.
- Your item will be renewed. You may print an updated receipt if needed.
- Have staff renew your items.
- If you aren't able to or comfortable using the methods above, staff are always happy to help you renew your items.
- Give us a call at 479-621-1152, option 1 to speak to staff at the Information Desk and get your items renewed.
- Start a chat with a Librarian, and let them know you're looking to renew an item. Make sure to provide your full name and either your email address or library card number.
- Send us an email using this email form, and staff will follow back up with you with your items' new due date.
Remember the DVDs, video games, Launchpads, and book club bags may not be renewed. New books may be renewed by staff if there are no other patrons on the reserve list for the item.
