After twenty-five days, the Libraries presumes the materials to be lost and will bill the borrower according to the process described previously. Failure to receive notification does not relieve the borrower of the obligation to return materials when they are due. It is each borrower's responsibility to maintain a current address on file with the Libraries. Changes of address should be reported to the Libraries immediately. Borrowers expecting to be away for a prolonged period should return or renew all library materials and supply a temporary address where they may be reached.
Borrowers are responsible for all materials charged out on their cards.
Library cards and borrowed materials should be kept in a secure location and never loaned to others. A lost or stolen card should be reported to the Libraries at once to minimize responsibility for its unauthorized use. Non-University patrons may have no more than eight items charged out on their accounts at any one time. The Libraries will suspend borrowing privileges if a patron does not pay accumulated fees and fines. Materials borrowed from a library at one location and returned to another in the Libraries system on the due date will be treated as though they were returned to the lending library on that date and will incur no assessment.
