Need additional time with a borrowed item? Hawaii's library patrons now have a fast, convenient, easy new option – renew materials online.
Books and most library materials may be renewed online, in person, or over the phone for an additional three weeks if there are no reserves on the items. Only one renewal per item is allowed.
