Loan periods (what you can borrow and for how long)
The library uses dynamic loan periods: while each item has a standard loan period,听this may be changed should another library member request the item. If an item you have borrowed is requested by another library member, the loan period is shortened to 1 week (you will receive an SMS and email to let you know the new due date).听The good news? Should you need an item that is out on loan you can request it and get access to it sooner.
All standard loans are also automatically renewed, with the exemption of High Use Collection items and iPads. This means you may not need to return the item by its original due date unless you receive an SMS saying the due date has shortened. Please remember to always keep an eye on your MyLibrary account.
