Choosing Whether to Truncate a Loan Period or Allow Renewals

If a borrower’s library card expires during a loan period, you can choose whether to have the loan period truncated or allow the user to complete a full loan period. Or, you can choose whether you want to allow a borrower to renew an item when they have an expired library card.
