Under unusual circumstances, customers may request an extended initial circulation loan period for no more than a few items.  Granting extended loan periods is at the discretion of Circulation staff and should not include any new items.

 

Fees are charged for adult books on CD, adult feature DVDs and rental books. Fees are paid when the items are borrowed.  Fees for rental items will be charged to the customer’s record if renewals are made by telephone.

 

The renewal policy does not apply to Interlibrary Loan items.  The Circulation Desk must be contacted in advance of the Interlibrary Loan due date to determine if an item may be renewed.  The decision rests with the owning library.
