Renewals

All borrowed materials are eligible for one additional loan period after which the materials must be returned to the Library to avoid overdue fines. Students may renew materials via the Library’s Online Catalog or by contacting the Circulation Desk. 

Renewing materials online requires your SU ID number and a PIN number. PINs are sent by e-mail at the beginning of each semester. If you do not know your PIN number, contact the Circulation Desk at 570-372-4022 or e-mail Stephanie Thomas. All renewed materials must be returned immediately upon recall by another library patron.
