Lightning loans (current bestsellers) cannot be renewed. Magazines can only be renewed once. All other library materials can be renewed up to five times in a row.
If the item you’re renewing has been requested by someone else, you’ll get a notification in the catalogue that you won’t be able to renew it.
Returning
The date on which items are due back at the library are printed on your receipt when you check out. You can also sign up for email notifications to remind you when an item is due for return.
Items can be returned to any of the Mississauga library locations. If you return an item after hours, you can use the 24 hour book drop located at most locations.
Unavailable items
If an item you want to borrow is not available, you can place a hold and we’ll notify you when it becomes available.
If you want to borrow an item that’s not in the catalogue, you can use the inter-library loan to request it from another library.
