The new due date will be extended from the original due date, adding another loan peri-od. There is no need to sign up for this new service. Checkouts from eZone are excluded—these cannot be renewed automatically. Some items may not renew if the item does not allow renew-als, it is on hold (another patron is waiting for it), or the item has reached its renewal limit (2 renewals). For more information, visit www.oslri.org/introduc-ing-automatic-renewals/
