Renewals

Our catalog system will automatically renew items that are not on hold for another patron (except for Lucky Day material, homework shelf, and circulating equipment). All items will be automatically renewed for up to two additional check out periods. Make sure we have your email to let you know which items did and did not renew! Manual renewals may be made in person, by phone, or through the online catalog.

Holds

Holds on library materials may be made online or in person for items not on the shelf or not owned by our library. The item may come from a library in the area. Items borrowed from nearby libraries may be returned here. To access your account, click on “Catalog” at lagrangelibrary.org and log in.

No Late Fees

Your library card is suspended after four or more items are overdue. You can just bring them back, and pay no fines.

Lost Library Card

Report the loss of a card as soon as possible. You are responsible for anything checked out on your card until it is reported lost.
