Renewing Books
If you need a library item (books, videos, dissertations, etc.) for a period longer than your original loan, you can request a renewal for that item online. Loan periods for Saint Mary's University-owned items can be found here. Loan periods for items borrowed from other libraries are up to the discretion of the lending library.
