Please note: you can't extend the loan period of an ILL (Interlibrary Loan) book yourself. You have to contact the library for this via the online form.

As long as the book has not been requested by anyone else, you can extend the loan period of your books with four weeks via sEURch or at one of the self-checkout machines in the library.
