However, if a hold has been placed on the item, then a renewal will not be allowed. Renewing an overdue item does not absolve the patron of paying for overdue fees. If a book you need is checked out, you may request at the Circulation Desk that the book be held for you upon its return. You can also place holds on materials through the online library catalog. If the book has been checked out for at least two weeks, you may ask for it to be recalled.
All patrons are eligible to request a hold on materials currently checked out.
Only Barton College students, faculty, and staff are eligible for recall privileges. In either case, you will be notified when the book is available, and it will be held for you at the Circulation Desk. Books needed for Reserve take precedence over any other need and may be recalled at any time. Patrons are responsible for returning or renewing items by the due date. Money collected for lost books is used to purchase replacements and billing fees cover postage, printing, and other service costs.
