How Do I Renew a Book?

My Library Account lists items currently checked out to your library account, including due dates, overdues, and holds. Select My Library Account in The CAT and review the list of items checked out to your account. Place a check in the box next to any item you wish to renew, and click the Renew Selected Items button at the bottom of screen. Most Penn State materials that do not have restricted loan periods may be renewed twice for students and non-PSU borrowers. After two renewals, items must be returned to the Libraries where materials not requested by other borrowers may be checked out again. Faculty and staff receive unlimited renewals on eligible items.

Please Note: Selecting items for renewal does not guarantee that they will be renewed. Recalled items, special permission loans, or items on course reserve are not eligible for renewal. Check item dues dates on the confirmation page to verify your renewals. Overdue fees may be assessed for items renewed after the original due date.
