Renewing

You may continue to renew your loans unless:

  • A hold (reservation) has been placed on the item by another borrower
  • You have items three or more weeks overdue

In these cases, please return the item to the Library, or contact Library staff for more information

You may renew online, by phone, or in person.

The easiest way is to visit https://library.bhtafe.edu.au/renew and follow the prompts.

Watch the clip below to see how to do it.
