Q. My books are due back tomorrow and I am away, how can I renew them?

All students and staff loans are subject to an automatic renewal process. This means closer to the return date, the due date is changed. The user is usually notified of any due date changes via an email notification from the library.

For Guest Patrons; you are able to renew your items yourselves via your Library account via our website here: https://le.ac.uk/library You will have to use your library number and password provided to you when you first signed up. If you are unable to do this for whatever reason, we are happy to renew items on your behalf if you contact us via phone (0116 252 2448) or email (library@le.ac.uk)

The only time you will not be able to renew your items is if there is a request in place. Library users will not be able to renew requested items due to the recall system, which allows equitable access for all items to all patrons. You are welcome to place a request on the item yourselves once you have returned it if you would like to access it again.
