You can renew items in person, by phone, or online.
To renew in person:
Bring your items and your library card to any Sonoma County Library branch. You don't have to renew at the same branch where you checked the items out.
To renew by phone:
Call our automated system (TELECIRC) at 707-340-5196
To renew online:
Go to our website and click My Account to log in.
Click on Checked Out to see the list of items you currently have checked out. Click the "renew" button for any item to
You may renew materials three times. After the end of the third renewal period, the item must be returned to the library.
eBooks and Downloadable eAudiobooks can be renewed from within your Hoopla or Overdrive/Libby account.
I renewed this item three times, but it's still due in only three weeks!
Do not try to renew an item multiple times in the same day to add more time to the check-out period. This does not work. Each time you renew an item, it becomes due 21 days from the date you renew it -- not from the original due date. If you renew an item three times in the same day, it doesn't renew for triple the time -- it simply takes you to the maximum number of renewals.
Problems renewing an item?
The following circumstances will prevent an item from being renewed:
- You already renewed it three times, or
- Someone else has placed a hold on it, or
- You have over $100.00 in library fines, or
- The call number and location information indicates it is a "Lucky Day" copy, or
- It is a LINK+ item that does not allow renewals
