Library charges
Since 2020 we have been conducting a review of our charges and fines for library items including books, DVDs, audiobooks on CD, music CDs and language courses.
At present we do not charge fees for reserving items or for overdue items. We do, however, expect borrowers to renew their items regularly and to return items that can no longer be renewed (for example when another user has reserved the the item).
How to renew your items
You can renew your items in the following ways:
- By logging in to your library account on this site with your library card number and PIN
- In person at any library in Lewisham
- By phoning one of our libraries
- Through our automated phone line on 03333 704700
Digital Publications
Our eBooks and digital audiobooks, newspapers and magazines are free to download and they automatically disappear from your device at the end of the loan period.
