Renew a Book
How many times have you borrowed a book you absolutely love only to have to return it before you’ve finished it? As you may or may not know, we offer a free renewal service in the library so at any point you can bring in your book before it’s due date and we’ll renew it for you so you’ve got more time to finish it at your leisure, without having to rush through those last chapters.
But what if you can’t get in to the Library to renew your book? Don’t fret! All members of Staffordshire Libraries, get to use the online renewal service on the Staffs Couty libraries website. That includes all of our lovely Shenstone Library members!
So if you’ve borrowed a book and haven’t quite finished reading it you can renew it online if you can’t make it to the library in person during our opening hours.
For full instructions on how to access the free online renewal service, please scroll down.
