Library starts automatic renewals for checked-out items

(Submitted by Wood County District Public Library)

On July 19, all locations of Wood County District Public Library began automatically renewing materials for library users. Automatic renewals on checked-out items continue until the maximum number of renewals is reached – and patrons won’t have to lift a finger to make them happen.

Assistant Director Michele Raine noted, “Auto renewals make it easy for you to enjoy your book or movie for as long as you need, without those pesky one- or two-day overdue fees.”

There are some exceptions, such as the library’s “Browsing and Hot Titles” materials, but for the most part, library items will renew four times, unless someone else has requested the material.

“Our readers borrow materials from all over Wood County and from many Ohio partner libraries, but as long as the material was checked out from Bowling Green, Walbridge, or the WCDPL Bookmobile, auto-renewals will apply and make it easy for you to enjoy library materials,” said Raine.
