Returns & Quarantining Materials

As the Libraries respond to the COVID-19 pandemic, Library materials should be returned to the dropbox outside of either Library. After you return materials, they will be quarantined for 4 days to ensure they are safe to circulate.

Course Reserve Checkouts

Due to the pandemic, we are temporarily adjusting our Course Reserve loan policy from 4 hours in-Library use only to a 2 day loan period that will allow patrons to check-out Course Reserve materials from the Library. Since these materials are limited and in high demand, we will be enforcing an increased late fee of $2/day for any reserves returned after their due date. 

Recalled Books

If you receive an email notification that a book you have checked out has been placed on hold by another patron, it must be returned within seven days. Fines will be $1/day for books not returned within that time frame.
