Borrowing information for all users

Renewing items

If your user type permits renewals, you can use My Account.

If you need one, we have a quick tutorial on how to renew items.

Fines & fees

Old Westbury Library does not charge overdue fines.

We will charge you for items you check out and then lose or damage.

If an item is overdue, we will send you three notices to remind you to return it. If we don't hear from you, we will assume the item is lost and apply a replacement charge to your account.

Charges will not prevent students from registering, graduating, etc.

You can contact the Circulation department about payment. 

Ask us to search for missing items

If you can't find an item that should be on our shelves, please let us know! Contact the Circulation department.
