Renew/Reserve/Return

How To RENEW Items

Library materials that were checked out for 21 days may be renewed once for an additional 21 days.  If the item was checked out for 7 days, it may be renewed for an additional 7 days.

Items may be renewed in person at any Burbank Library at the circulation desk, over the phone  or online. If calling, please have your library card and the barcode numbers of the items you wish to renew handy when you call. Click here for library hours and telephone numbers.

Renewing online is easy through our Library iBistro Catalog.  You will need your library card and your PIN number, available from the Circulation Department.
