Returns and Renewals

Renewals

Books can be renewed online, at the Circulation Desk, or by telephone (878-6303). To renew books online, click on My Account from the library catalog and login with your Buffalo State username and password.

  • Renewals should be made on or before the due date. Use My Library Account to renew materials online.
  • In order to renew books at the end of a semester, students must be registered for the next semester.
  • Charges for overdue books will be added to your library record.
  • Books cannot be renewed that are on hold for another user, have been renewed two times before, or if your library record is blocked (e.g. due to a late fee).
  • Reserve material, Interlibrary Loan material, and media items cannot be renewed online.
  • You can request renewals of interlibrary loan materials through your ILLiad account unless "no renewals" is listed as a restriction. It is at the discretion of the lending library to renew a book or decline your request.

Renewals are usually not granted for overdue books so be sure to request your renewal a few days before the book is due.

Returning Materials

All library materials, including reserve items, must be returned to the Circulation Desk.

  • Users are encouraged to request receipts when library materials are returned.
  • No claims regarding return of library materials will be honored without a library-issued receipt.
  • Outdoor book drops may also be used to return books. Please do not put reserve or media items in the book drops. Book drops are located in the front of the library to the left of the front door and at the back of the library on the loading dock.
