How long can I keep library materials on loan?
Answer
Students: Books can be kept for a six-week check-out period or until the end of the semester, whichever is first. You may renew (extend the due date) of the item if no one else has a request for it.
Faculty and staff: Items are checked out for a year. We encourage faculty and staff to promptly return items to library to allow usage by other patrons. See the items that you have checked out and renew them using My Library Card.
