Students are always encouraged to check out books. 

There is a seven book limit on checkouts for physical books, but exceptions can be made for special circumstances.

Student loan period for physical books is three weeks. Books may be returned or renewed at any time.

If a book is overdue, it will place a hold on the students account.  They are still allowed to check out books, but this must be done by the librarian. 

DDMS has also launched a small ebook collection.  Students are able to check out two titles at a time for ten days.  Books are automatically returned at the end of the loan period, but can be renewed one time as long as there is not a hold on the book.

If a student loses or damages a book outside of normal use, the book can be paid for, replaced with a like copy or in special circumstances worked off through jobs in the Media Center.

Accidents can happen and a student will never be stopped from checking out books but may need to have the librarian check the book out to them vs. using self checkout.
