Why was my renewal denied?

Renewals are sometimes denied when an item is overdue, someone else has requested it, you’ve reached the renewal limit, or there is a block on your account (such as large fines). If your renewal doesn’t go through, plan to return the item by its due date and check in with the Circulation Desk if you have questions or need help planning next steps.
