Each Friday the Instructional Materials Center Team will provide answers to questions asked by educators throughout the week in the IMC FAQ Friday post. We hope these are helpful as schools place orders for students who need accessible educational materials.
Do you have a book to renew for the 2026/2027 school year? You can easily do this in Athena! On your home page, select the second to the last icon on the left panel, Order Items. This will bring up a list of each order item submitted for the school year, along with the status for each.

Select the clipboard (view order) icon to open the order, locate the book, and select the renew button highlighted below in yellow. This will generate a renewal request in Athena for the 2026/2027 school year.
