Students Hamilton College students may borrow an unlimited number of books for the semester. All books are due on the last day of final exams. The library may recall a book after fourteen days if requested by another patron. Books that have been recalled may not be renewed. The College I.D. serves as the borrower's library card.
Cards are non-transferrable to other patrons.
The owner of the card will be held responsible for any lost, overdue or damaged books charged out in his name. After the book has been overdue for 80 days, the system will add this fine as a replacement charge to the patron's record, and it will not be refunded if the book is returned. During the time between when the book becomes overdue and the billing letter is sent, a patron receives 7 overdue notices. The first notice is sent on the day after the due date. The second notice and all subsequent notices, are sent in 10 day intervals.
