To ensure the fair circulation of materials, resources have varying loan periods. Fines are in place for the late return of resources. We label all resources to show how long you can borrow them for.

If at the point of issue a 28 Day Loan resource is reserved, the loan period will automatically change to a 7 Day Loan. This is to ensure the fair circulation of resources. Check your self-service receipt and manage your loans by logging into your library account. If a resource is reserved whilst on loan the due date will not change but renewals will not be possible.
