Loan Periods and Due Dates
The loan period for books is determined by the lending library. The due date is indicated on the paper wrapped around the item’s cover. This wrapper should be left intact to insure accurate and prompt processing of the loan. Material should be returned by the due date to the circulation desk. Borrowers who disregard due dates jeopardize their Interlibrary Loan borrowing privileges.
