Renew

Once you have started using the Library to take out books, you will be able to renew your long-loans online for a further two weeks, provided nobody has placed a reservation on them.

  • Log into your library account

You will see a summary of the loans you have out in 'My Portal', as well as any that are overdue.

  • Remember – you won’t be able to renew books online that are overdue.
  • Select current loans and click 'Renew' beside each item you want to renew. You’ll see a new due date for those items. The closer you renew to the due date, the longer you will get. 

⚠ Please note – short loans are in demand and can’t be renewed. You also won't be able to renew overdue items or books that have been reserved by another student.

 

 

Return

There are a few ways you can return your books to the library.
You can either:

  • Bring them to the Library desk 
  • Use the self-issue kiosk
  • Use the book returns box near the staff entrance in St Patrick's building.

It's worth noting that you don't need to have your card with you to return books.

  • If visiting the library isn't possible, you can also send your books back by post. Please be aware that you will need to cover the cost of postage yourself.
    Here is the address you can send them to:

MIE Library
St Patrick's Hall, Marino Institute of Education,
Griffith Ave, Dublin, D09 K4P6

Note that Students with outstanding loans or fines may have their exams results withheld.
