Library cards are not transferable under any circumstances. Borrowers are responsible for notifying Circulation staff of a change of address. To prevent recall fines, borrowers should return material before leaving their mailing address for a week or more, or arrange for someone to check their mail and have access to these library materials. Borrowers who abuse library borrowing privileges may have these privileges suspended. Failure to return materials on time, not responding to recall notices, or repeatedly failing to return items in the proper manner are examples of such abuse.
Borrowers have the right to appeal suspension of their privileges.
Borrowing privileges may be reinstated when the matter has been resolved through return of materials, payment of bills, or consultation with the Head of Circulation. A borrower who has lost library materials is responsible for any replacement charges, billing fees, and fines. Borrowers may also be assessed repair or replacement charges for damaged items. When a borrower claims that overdue fined materials were returned on time, Circulation staff will investigate the situation. If the material in question is found to have been returned on time, all charges will be canceled.
