Renewing Library Loans

All items that you have on loan may be renewed at any of the libraries in the borough, either in person, by telephone or online.

To renew online you will need your library membership number and your individual PIN number, which you can pick-up at the library on your next visit.

Just go to www.wlct.org/libraries and choose the Library Catalogue-Talis Prism link. Alternatively, you can go directly to the log-on screen by clicking the link below.

You can do this from home or use a computer in the library. By clicking on the My Account button you can log in and see what you have out on loan and renew titles at any time of the day or night. If anyone else has reserved a particular item, you cannot renew it for the full loan period, but you will be given three fine-free days in which to return it to the library.

The online service also gives you the ability to reserve any item that is in stock at the click of a button. The whole of the borough’s library stock is held in the online catalogue, so you can see if the item that you want is in stock and where it is held. You can also search specific types of stock such as children’s material or large print books, or check the stock of your own local library.

If you cannot remember if you have already reserved a book, or borrowed it before, the online service allows you to see both current and past reservations and previous loans.

The online service also offers the opportunity to notify the library of any change of address or e-mail them any comments that you may have.

Any renewal fees, reservation charges or fines are added to your account and displayed on the screen, so that you can pay these on your next library visit.

Talis Prism is designed to make the library more accessible, offering an easy to use catalogue and giving library users the ability to reserve and renew a wide range of library stock for themselves.
