By Arielle Kass

Starting Monday, Gwinnett residents may no longer have to renew library books on their own.

The Gwinnett County Public Library will begin to auto-renew materials that have been checked out. As long as no one else has the item on hold, it will auto-renew up to two times.

All library branches will be closed Monday for a staff development day while the catalog is updated.
