All borrowers need a Spring Hill identification card to check out materials from the library. A security system is in place in the library. To maintain its effectiveness, the library reserves the right to routinely check book bags, briefcases, and other belongings. If the alarm is tripped the front doors will automatically lock until the circulation worker opens them. Most library materials may be checked out.
Exceptions are journals, reference books and materials in special collections.
Another return area is maintained at the Circulation Desk. Due dates are marked in each circulating item. An overdue notice is sent the day the item becomes overdue. All unpaid bills and presumed lost book fees will be forwarded to the Business Office for processing two weeks before the end of each semester. For the first seven days an item is overdue, there is no fine.
