Circulation Policy

1. In order to check out library books and materials, you must present your library card. Library materials may be checked out for you and your immediate family members only. You are responsible for all materials checked out on your card. Do not lend your card to anyone else. There is a limit of three books per subject.
   
   
2. Most books check out for 4 weeks. Some books check out for shorter periods of 7 or 14 days. These books will be marked with a sticker on the spine which indicates checkout period. Four week books may be renewed once for a period of 4 weeks. Renewals may be done on-line through the "renew books" link on the search catalog page of the website, by telephone, by e-mail or in-person at a system library. Books that are overdue will not be renewed. Books that are checked out for 7 or 14 days may not be renewed and cannot be checked out again until returned to the shelves.
   
   
3. Audiovisual media items may be checked out for a loan period of 14 days. With the exception of language education media items, audiovisual media may not be renewed.
   
   
4. You may place reserves on items which are checked out. Requests to reserve books may be made in person, by telephone, email or through the catalog page on the library website. When the requested item is available, you will be notified by telephone and will have seven days to pick it up.
