Most types of Fresno County library cards are set to expire automatically every five years (1,825 days). A complete list of borrower types and expiration periods can be found in Chapter 400 of the Library Manual on OZ.

Card Expires During Today’s CKO Period
If the patron’s card is set to expire during the upcoming checkout period, Horizon will automatically assign the usual check out period to that item(s). The card will expire while those items are checked out and staff can renew it the next time the patron uses their card.
rev. 2/2018
As of September 1, 2006, Fresno County library cards with the following borrower types were set to expire automatically based on the age of the borrower as noted below. This date overrides the standard five-year expiration date for these borrower types. This should reduce the number of patrons with a borrower type that does not correspond to their age (i.e. a 15-year-old with an FCH card or a 30-year-old with an FYA card.) These are the borrower types that use the borrower's age to set the expiration date of the card:
Age -- Borrower type
12 -- FCH - Fresno Child
12 -- FCHF - Fresno Child Foster Care
12 -- FNRCH - Fresno Non-Resident Child
18 -- FYA - Fresno Young Adult
18 -- FYAF - Fresno YA Foster Care
18 -- FNRYA - Fresno Non-Resident YA
Note:
> Horizon will NOT automatically change the card to the appropriate new borrower type. It will only prompt you to renew the card. Staff must manually change the borrower type.
> The automatic expiration by age will only affect borrowers issued cards after September 1, 2006. It will not automatically update the expiration dates of borrowers issued cards before that date.
