Policy

Loan periods vary between differing user profiles and items. The current due date for material is listed on the checkout receipt or e-resource confirmation each patron receives when checking out material.

Some materials and patrons may require a longer loan. Longer books and books on CD with many discs may take longer than 3 weeks to use. If there are no holds waiting, loans may be extended up to 9 weeks. A smaller extension may be made if holds are waiting.
