Loan Periods

You can check out Library items for three weeks. The only exception is Express Collection DVDs and Blu-rays, which can be checked out for seven days.

Books, audiobooks, DVDs, Blu-rays, CDs, vinyl records, and magazines renew automatically for five additional loan periods with the following exceptions:

  • Express Collection 
  • Items have been requested by someone else
  • Interlibrary Loan (ILL) items

If you would like to manage your renewals, visit mysapl.org, use the mySAPL app, or call any Library location. Please have your Library card account number handy.

All Library materials (except for vinyl records) may be returned to any Library book drop. We’ll email you courtesy notices along the way to remind you to renew or return your items. If items become overdue, a notice will be emailed after seven days.
