Borrowing

Most of the materials in the library can be borrowed for 3 weeks at first, and renewed three times. If an item you have borrowed can be renewed, it happens automatically. A few exceptions:

New books	2 weeks	3
Non-Fiction videos and TV series	3 weeks	3
Feature Films on DVD	1 week	3
Lucky Day books	2 weeks	0
Kids book kits	3 weeks	3
Adult book kits	6 weeks	3
Digital Media Lab Equipment	3 days	3
Chromebooks	2 weeks	1

If another user has placed a hold on an item that you have checked out, you will not be able to renew.

Borrowers may have 50 items checked out at a time, with the following limits:

We do not charge overdue fines. However, if a library item is not returned after a certain period of time, we will take the following actions:

• You will receive a bill for the replacement cost of the item and your ability to check out other materials will be suspended.
• If you return the item, your ability to borrow materials will be restored.
• If you cannot find the item, you can pay the bill and have your ability to borrow materials restored.

In addition to picking up holds at the library, users can pick up holds at University Place Lockers. The lockers are open 24/7.

1. Place holds through the online catalog and select the pick up at “University Place Lockers” option.
2. Wait until you receive an email that your hold is ready.
3. Go to the lockers — located outside at 201 S Estes Dr, next to Alfredo’s Pizza.
4. Scan your library card or type in your library card number.
5. Grab your materials, close the door, and enjoy!

If you don’t see location options in the catalog, you may need to update your single-click hold preferences here.
