You can borrow the same item again without bringing it back to the library up to three times. This is called a renewal. For items you have borrowed from UMKC or libraries in Missouri, log into your library account using your UMKC username and password and select "Requests & loans" under the "My dashboard" menu.

Loans, requests, and renewals must be managed in your Interlibrary Loan account for items you have borrowed from libraries beyond Missouri.
