You can check out items if your fine is less than $5.00. Once your fines reach $5.00 your card is blocked.  If you have overdue items, you are within the 5 day grace period, and a fine has not been added to your account,  you may renew them.  Renewing items allows you check it out for an additional 4 weeks.  You may only renew items once.  You cannot renew an item if another person has a hold on it.

**DVD’s are an exception to this.  You will be  charged $1.00 per movie/per day the items are late.  Your account is blocked until your fine is paid.  There is no grace period on DVD’s.
