Circulation Policies

CIRCULATION POLICIES

Students are allowed to borrow books and media from the Library for a period of three weeks at a time. There is no limit as to how many books a student may check out.

Items can be renewed for an additional three weeks unless a reserve has been placed on that book by another student.

Students will not write in, highlight or turn down pages of any books that they borrow from the Library. If a student does damage one, they will pay for a replacement copy of the book with a minimum cost of $10.00 per book damaged. If a book is lost, the student must pay to have the book replaced. There is a minimum cost of $10.00 per book. If the student prefers to purchase a copy and give that to the Library that is fine, as long as the copy is of the same format as the original book. If the book was a hardcover book, then it must be replaced with another hardcover book. Students must return any overdue items when notified by the Librarian or risk loss of library privileges, as well other disciplinary actions.

This is especially important before Mid Term Exams and Final Exams: All overdue books must be returned in order for students to take their exams!

When a student receives an overdue notice, either on paper or by email, the item(s) must be returned by the specified date on that notice.

If the book is not returned by that date, detention will be given daily until the book is either returned or replaced or paid for. When the book is not returned by the fifth day of detention a bill for the full amount of the cost of replacing the book including shipping and other charges will be issued to the student and must be paid within three (3) days of receipt. Please don’t allow this to happen, return your books when they are due!

Underclassmen must return books before the last day of classes.

Seniors must return books by last day of their classes in order to take their Final Exams.
