You can also renew books:

  • online by logging into your library account - you will need your library card number and PIN
  • by phoning the 24 hour renewal line on 01202 262424
  • in person at any library
  • up to 10 times - after this you should return the item

You cannot renew DVDs, Blu-Ray and CDs but if you keep them longer than the original hire period you can pay the extra hire charge when you bring them back.

If you send a letter we will not reply. Please be sure to quote your library card number and PIN when you contact us.

If someone else has reserved a book you have on loan, we will renew it for you for a week to give you time to get it back to us without incurring a charge.

Courtesy reminders by email

To help you manage your library account, you can sign up for emails to alert you that items on loan will soon be due for return. To sign up for email alerts please contact the library on 01202 262424, in person at any library or by emailing libraries@poole.gov.uk.
