There were 2 items that were renewed.

This item has reached the maximum number of automatic renewals and will no longer be renewed.Prayer :

The apocryphal gospels /

This means that you need to return the book to the Library. If no one puts a reservation/recall on the book, you can show us the book in the Library, we’ll return it on the system, and can re-issue it to you.
If you are ever confused about the messages, you can check your account, by logging into it on our catalogued:
- Logged into your account via https://hey.koha.openfifth.net/cgi-bin/koha/opac-user.pl
- You can see when a book is due, and how many automatic renewals it has had:

As you can see the “Renew” column states “No renewal before 16/01/2026 (5 of 5 renewals remaining)”, and “This item is scheduled for auto renewals.
If the status of your book is not clear, please contact us.
