RENEW your books from home!



If you are reading this blog on your home computer or any computer, you can renew any books you checked out of the Osterhout -- or any library in the Luzerne County Library System -- with a few clicks of the mouse!
Here's how:
  1. Go to osterhout.lib.pa.us
  2. Click on SEARCH THE CATALOG.
  3. Choose VIEW YOUR PATRON RECORD.
  4. Enter your name and the barcode number from the back of your library card.
  5. Click on DISPLAY RECORD for Person Named Above.
  6. Select # of Items Currently Checked Out.
  7. To renew, click in the box before each title you wish to renew.
  8. Click on Renew Selected Items. (Renew all the items at once by clicking RENEW ALL).
  9. The new due date will show.
Please note that you can only renew an item 2 times, EXCEPT for DVDs & VIDEOS which can only be renewed for 1 additional day. If the item cannot be renewed, the system will display a note. You can also use the online system to view HOLDS or FINES.
Give it a try!
