1. Call to renew at 651-214-9395
2. Email your renewal request to shannontobiaslibrary@gmail.com
3. Come in to the library to renew in person
Renewals must be requested on or before your book’s due date, otherwise late fees will accrue until you do renew. Books should be returned to the library during open hours.
Late Fees & Damages
Late fees accrue when your items are overdue. The late fee charge is 25 cents per item per week. Please keep track of your due date! Reminder notices are not available at this time.
If a book is returned damaged, you will be required to pay the replacement cost for the item so that a new copy may be acquired for the library. Charges may also apply to damaged spine labels.

-Do not write in books, earmark pages, curl front covers backward, or use books as coasters
