You may call the circulation desk at any of the four St. Louis Community College campus libraries or you may renew your checked-out materials online. Simply go to the Library Catalog and click on the "Renew Item/View Record" button. You will be asked to enter your name and College ID number. Now click on the "Submit" button, then click on the "Items checked out" button. You have the choice of renewing all of your materials or just selected items. (Please note that renewals may be blocked because someone else has requested an item or you have already renewed them too many times.)
