Such arrangements should be made with the lending unit. Please see Finding Replacements for Lost Library Books and Serials for further details. Go to top Responsibilities of Borrowers Borrowers are responsible for library materials charged out to them until they are returned to the lending library or unit. Materials returned to another library unit through book drops or through the mail, for example, are the borrower's responsibility until the material is actually received by the lending library. Borrowers are prohibited by library policy from lending their library card or materials to others.
Borrowers are responsible for maintaining a current address on file with the Library Service Desk.
To avoid recall fines, borrowers should return material before leaving their mailing address for a week or more. Borrowers who abuse library borrowing privileges may have these privileges suspended throughout the Library. Examples of abuse of library borrowing privileges include repeatedly not returning materials on time, not paying replacement bills, not responding to recall notices, not returning library materials even after replacement bills have been issued, and mutilation or damage of library materials. Borrowers may appeal the suspension of their borrowing privileges beginning at the library that suspended their borrowing privileges. Borrowing privileges may be reinstated when the matter has been resolved through return of materials, payment of bills, or consultation with library staff.
