Renewals
You may renew your checked out books, audiobooks, cassettes, CDs and magazines for up to two additional loan periods, provided they are not on hold for another library user.
Course reserve materials, videos, DVDs, equipment, and other non-print materials may not be renewed.
You can renew materials online. Log in to your library account, click on "Items currently checked out", and select the items you want to renew. If an item cannot be renewed, a message will appear on the screen. If the renewal is successful, a new due date will appear in the "Status" column.
You can renew materials in person at any DMACC library, or by telephone at 515-964-6317 or toll-free at 1-800-362-2127, ext. 6317. For fastest service, please have your library card ready when you call. We will need the barcode number on your card to renew materials for you.
Returns
Regular circulating materials can be returned at any DMACC library, regardless of where they were they were checked out.
Course reserve materials, videos, DVDs, equipment, and other non-print materials must be returned to the library where they were checked out.
For your protection, always use the return slot at the library desk, or the outside book return (where available). Also, be cautious about asking others to return materials for you. You are responsible for the return of materials checked out on your library card.
You may return materials by mail, but they are considered checked out to you until they arrive at one of the DMACC libraries.
