All items can be renewed twice, unless a hold has been placed on the item.

Holds:
MFRL patrons can place up to 8 holds at a time. If the item is or becomes available at another branch, we will transport that item to your desired branch for pickup.

OverDrive Items:
Patrons can place up to four OverDrive holds at a time. OverDrive holds do not affect regular catalog hold limits, and vice versa. Once the title you have placed on hold becomes available for check out, you will receive an email indicating the title is available. You will then have three days to check out the title before it is returned to the collection.

While OverDrive titles cannot be returned early, they can be checked out for one or two weeks. They will automatically be returned at the end of the lending period. OverDrive items can not be renewed.

Inter-Library Loans:
If you are looking for material that MFRL does not own, we can request items from other systems on your behalf. Each system's ILL policies are unique. Most systems will not ILL new items, CDs or DVDs. There is a $3.00 fee per item and payment is expected when the ILL request is fulfilled.
