 How to Renew your Books or Check your Account

You can check your personal library information online including items you have checked out, if you have any fines or fees, or if you want to renew items.  

  • Go to the MC Library Catalog and click on the
    My Account tab
    near the top middle of the screen.
  • You will get a login screen.  Login with your MC ID #.
  • For community patrons, the barcode is the long number found on the reverse side of your Montgomery College library card.  
  • Put in your last name as requested.
  • If you have items checked out, you will see a list of what you currently have out and when they are due.
  • If you want to renew, check the Renew box to the far left of the screen.
  • Press the Renew Items button at the bottom of the screen to complete the process.  
  • If your items are overdue, you will not see the renew option but just a list of what you currently have checked out.  Overdue items cannot be renewed online and must be brought back to the library for resolution. 
  • Overdue fines accrue at the rate of 25 cents per day per item up to a maximum of $8.00 per item.  Fines will not appear on your account until the items are returned.
  • If your limit of items has already been reached, you will not be able to renew.  For students, the limit is 10 items total.  For faculty and staff, the limit is 20 items total.  For community patrons, the limit is 5 items total.
  • Student library cards expire at the end of each semester.  If your library card has not been updated, you will not be able to renew online.  Bring the books to the library, have your card updated, and renew in person.
  • If you have any questions about the information found here, require assistance or have problems renewing, please call the Circulation desk on your campus.
