Users may borrow 6 books.

All borrowed items can be renewed twice unless another member has placed a hold. After the second renewal, if you need to extend the lending period, then bring the item to the Library and check it out again at the User Services Desk.

You may renew a book 7 days before the due date through the Library website by logging into your account, selecting the book(s) you want to renew and clicking on ‘Renew Marked,’ or in person by visiting the User Services Desk with your membership card. For more information about borrowing, loan periods allowed, renewal, and overdue information for books and other physical items, click here
