The days of stamping the due date in the front of the book are long past. Today we issue you with a receipt showing the due date. You might like to note it in pencil on the book plate or in your diary, keeping the receipt in the book.
If you prefer, you can have your due date emailed to you when you borrow, instead of a receipt. Just ask at the counter.
Getting a reminder
You can view your loans and renew your items online via the Buckinghamshire Libraries Spydus system. After registering your library card number, setting a password and giving your email address, the system will tell you when items are overdue.
Because Spydus only tells you after the due date has passed, we recommend registering with Library Elf, which reminds you before the due date so you have time to return or renew. It’s also available as an app: search for ‘Library Elf’ in your app store.
If an item is late
If you don’t renew or return your items in time, a fine is unfortunately inevitable. See the current fees and fines.
