Exceptions:

  • Renewal is subject to availability.
  • Returned items may be available to be checked out again after a 15-minute wait if they are not borrowed by other patrons.
  • Library staff may decline to circulate items if they have concerns about the fragility or care of library materials.
  • Checkout of more than one of the same equipment items (e.g., laptops, cameras, tripods, etc.) is contingent on supply and anticipated need.

See fines and fees for items that are returned late or lost.
