Patrons will receive a $5.00 fine if fragile and high-demand items marked with a book drop warning sticker are returned in the book drop. Patrons will be assessed a damage fee for any harm that occurs to equipment while checked out.
Checkout privileges will be blocked for patrons with more than $20.00 in fees, fines, or an expired account.
Items more than 30 days overdue are designated Lost, (Reserve Items and Equipment are designated Lost after three days) and the patron will be billed for replacement costs plus a $20.00 processing fee per item. Accounts with lost items will be sent to an outside collections agency after six months. Outstanding fees and fines will affect patron’s registration and graduation eligibility.
New/replacement copies of lost or damaged items cannot be accepted without prior consent from the library.
A hold may be requested for any circulating item except equipment or reserve items. Faculty may contact us to book equipment in advance. Once a hold is available, the person will be notified by phone or email. The item will be held for seven days, after which it will be removed, and the item will either be placed on hold for the next person or placed back into general circulation.
Proxy Checkout is available to some registered borrowers when they wish to send someone to check out materials in their place. A Proxy Checkout group consists of a Primary Borrower and one or more Secondary Borrowers. Both the Primary and Secondary Borrower(s) must complete and sign the Proxy Checkout Form which must then be approved by a circulation supervisor or librarian.
Once approved, the Secondary Borrower(s) will have rights to check out library material using the Primary Borrower's record. The Primary Borrower is responsible for all late fines and/or other fees and is responsible for notifying the library when the Secondary Borrower’s rights should be rescinded.
