Renewals & Patron Information
The St. Catharines Public Library offers a number of methods for patrons to renew items and check patron information. Items are renewed for 7 days from the date the item renewal is performed. Items that cannot be renewed if the item is on hold for another patron.

-

-
Owe more than $10.00
