1. Review the books and materials you currently have checked out and find when they're due. This is especially helpful for parents with small children to keep track of books, DVDs and other materials checked out.

2. Renew materials when you're going to be out of town and don't have time to run by the library to renew them. When you're logged into your account, view your current check-outs. To renew a book check the box and then click the "renew selection," or just "renew all."

2. Check requests you have on hold to see when they will be filled. Also, you can cancel your requests when you no longer wish to receive the materials. If you have your email address on file with the library you will receive an electronic notice when your books have arrived and are ready to be picked up.
