Eagle Valley Library District standard patron cards are valid for two years, after which time they must be renewed. Library cards can be renewed by telephone or in person at any library branch.

To access your library card record, click on "My Account" above, click on "log In" and enter in your full name and library card number. From within your account you may request items, renew items, and review your reading history.

Traditional materials (i.e. books, audiobooks, magazines, and DVDs) do not accrue late fines. “Non-traditional” items such as "Library of Things" will accrue late fines. Accounts with materials/items more than 30 days overdue and/or delinquent in the amount of $50.00 or more may be referred to a third party collection agency and an additional $10 collection fee will be added to the account. Patrons will be charged replacement fees for lost or damaged items and a $5.00 processing fee.

Library materials may be renewed online with your library card number. To renew items online, click on "My Account" above and then click on "Log In" and enter your name and library card number.  

To renew all items, click on the "Renew All" button. If you only wish to renew certain items, click the box(es) preceding the item(s) in the list, and the click on "Renew Selected Items". If an item may not be renewed it will say "ON HOLD" in red next to the due date of the item. You can also call your local branch and request items renewed over the phone during library hours. Have your library card ready as staff will need it to complete the renewal.

There are also several cases where you cannot renew items checked out to you. Renewals will be blocked if:

• There are outstanding fees or fines of more than $5.00 on your card.
• Your card has expired or if your card will expire prior to the new due date.
• There is a request on by other library customer for the item.

Renewal dates are from the date renewed, not the date material is due.
