Library Essentials: How to renew a book

Automatic Renewals

Automatic renewal means that all standard loan and one week items you borrow will be renewed 2 days before the due date.

However, automatic renewal will not take place if any of the following apply:

• An item has been reserved by another user
• You have accrued charges of £10.00
• There is a block on your account
• Your course has finished or is due to finish

For full details see the Borrowing and Renewals page.

How to Renew a Book

To avoid fines, please return or renew your books before their due date.

• Online - Go to Locate login with your Coventry University username and password (top right of page), then click on ‘My Account’.

Click on the the button next to the books you would like to renew, or click on if you would like to renew all of the items you have out on loan.

You can keep renewing your items for up to 15 weeks, provided they are not reserved, and any fines on your account are below £10.

• Telephone - Call 024 7765 7555 during service desk opening hours. You will need your ID card number and details of the book(s) you wish to renew.
• In person - Bring your books to the library and use the self service kiosks on the ground floor or floors 1 and 2.
