Introducing Automatic Renewals

The Minuteman Library Network, including the Public Library of Brookline, is proud to introduce automatic renewals! Starting January 1, all eligible items will renew automatically 2 days before they are due.
|
Items will not renew if there is a hold for another patron or if the item has reached its maximum number of renewals. Look for a “Due Date Reminder” email that will tell you if your items renewed. You can also check your account online or by calling the Library at 617-730-2370.
