There are no telephone, mail, or electronic mail renewals. Reference material, sound recordings, and videos are non-circulating. With the exception of certain titles in the Sciences Library, current and bound periodicals do not circulate. Oversize art books may be checked out for two weeks by Brown faculty, and are non-circulating to others. Some current books may be borrowed for only two weeks.
All material is subject to recall and holds by other library patrons.
Recalled items must be returned within 14 days of the initiation of the recall. Books for which another hold exists at the time of checkout may be borrowed for no more than ten days. Borrowing privileges are suspended for individuals with overdue recalls. Whenever possible, library notices are sent to a campus box. If you are away from campus you must arrange for mail to be forwarded, or supply the Circulation Office with another address.
