New auto renewals at Aurora Public Library
|
|
Due to popular demand, Aurora Public Library is
implementing automatic renewals for most library items, which
saves patrons time and allows them to keep items for a longer
period of time.
The new program started Jan. 1, and in its first
two weeks it has generated over 16,500 auto renewals.
Items eligible for automatic renewal will be
renewed up to four times when the 3-day courtesy reminder is sent
(three days prior to the item’s due date). The new due date will
be extended from the original due date. An item will not be
renewed if: there is a hold on the item, the item is
non-renewable, such as a museum pass; the item is downloadable,
such as an Overdrive or Hoopla e-book or e-audiobook; the item
has reached its maximum allowable renewals (currently four
renewals); the item is checked out through Prospector or
Interlibrary Loan; the patron account charges have exceeded $10;
or there is a block on the patron’s account.
How do you know when something you’ve borrowed has
been automatically renewed? Whether or not an item has been
renewed will be reflected in your 3-day courtesy notice email.
Items that have been automatically renewed will display a new due
date. Therefore, it is important to carefully review your due
dates to avoid any overdue fees.
On average, in a year Aurora Public Library
receives about 1.1 million library visits, gets about 100,000
participants in its programs and has about 1.1 million items
checked out at its six branches and online. To learn more about

Small Business Advocate
of the Year Award:
Chuck Hahn
|
|
|
Each December, the city of Aurora honors local
businesses that go above and beyond. In 2019, five businesses and
one individual joined the 68 others that have been honored since
the city’s Business Recognition Awards event began in 2005.
Each of the award winners
are being profiled in This Is Aurora.
During the award ceremony, the city announced a
new award this year—created by the Aurora-South Metro Small
Business Development Center—that is designed to recognize an
individual who has had a positive impact on Aurora’s small
business community. The inaugural award was presented to Chuck
Hahn, who recently retired after serving the city and the
Aurora-South Metro SBDC for over 16 years.
The Aurora Business Recognition Awards are hosted
by the city's Business Advisory
Board and organized by the Development Services
Division, with support from the Aurora-South Metro
Business Development Center.
