Borrowing periods and limits

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.

Borrowing periods

Loan Category	Description	Fine per day
3 Day Loan	Some AV items such as DVDs	£1 per item
7 Day Loan	High demand books and other materials	20p per item
28 Day Loan	All wider reading materials	10p per item
Not For Loan	Items that cannot be borrowed from the library and are used within the library for reference	N/A
Laptops	Self-service laptops from the LapSafe and bookable laptops	£10 per item

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.
