Q. How do I renew books or other items?

You can renew your books online by logging in to your account.  There are two ways to do this:  On the Library's home page http://cityofpasadena.net/library/, click on the “my account” box on the left side of the page, below the picture of Central Library.  Or you may also click on the “catalog” link to get to the library catalog; at the top of the catalog page, in the dark blue header, there is a bright blue menu with "Log in" and "My Account." Click to log in.

You'll be prompted to put in your entire library card number with no spaces, and then your personal identification number (PIN).  

Once you’ve logged in to your account, click the “Checkouts” tab to see your items.  Either mark the box next to each item you wish to renew, or mark the box to "Select All" for renewing all (eligible) items you have out.  Then click the "Renew" button.

Should you have trouble logging in to your account, please contact library staff for help at any library location (https://www.cityofpasadena.net/library/branches/). Please have your library card available when you call.
