Borrowing Privileges
Students are allowed to borrow regular material for an initial period of three weeks. At the end of the loan period the item(s) must be returned or renewed. Students may renew an item one time for an additional three weeks. Suspension of library privileges and a replacement fine will result if item(s) are not returned.
Junior School students may borrow up to three books at one time and may not have more than three books out at a time. Junior students with overdue material will not be allowed to borrow more items until the overdue material is returned.

Staff and faculty are asked to return material promptly. Departments will be asked to replace lost material.
Some items set aside for specific projects or in-demand items may have shorter loan periods.
