There are three ways to renew your library items.
- You can renew in person by bringing the items and your library card to any RiverShare library.
- You can renew online by following the directions below.
- You can call the automated renewal phone number at
- Local: (563) 823-5565 or
- Toll-free: (888) 534-6130
Most items may be renewed ONE time unless someone has it reserved. The renewal period is the same as the original checkout period. If your library card is expired, or if the item has a hold on it, you cannot renew. Certain materials borrowed from other libraries cannot be renewed.
To renew online:
- Click on the Online Catalog button on the left hand side of the screen.
- When RiverShare catalog opens choose "Patron Account"
- Enter your library barcode located on the back of your library card. Enter all 14 digits with no spaces, and your password. The default password may be the last 4 digits of your library card or your primary phone number.
- Click on Items Out to view a list of checkouts.
- Click the checkbox next to those items you wish to renew. To renew everything checked out on your card, select the button for "Renew All".
- Click the "Renew Selected Items" button at the bottom of the page.
The system will show you which items have been successfully renewed, which have not, and the new due dates for the renewed items.
