Unlimited Renewals

You do not need to worry about the renewal limits from now on! You can login to your library account and renew your loaned items anytime without a limit (unless another borrower makes a hold request to the item or it reaches the maximum loan period).

Full Electronic Notification

You will not miss the library notifications anymore! When you borrow or return a library item, Alma will automatically send you a full electronic notification via email. You can know the borrowing status and due date more easily.

We hope those changes can bring you a better library user experience. Should you have any enquiry, please feel free to contact us.
