Staff Services

How many things?

Staff are allowed to checkout 50 books at time. If you are close to the limit and need additional materials for your research, contact a librarian to discuss raising your limit.

Due Dates

Research takes time so we try to give you plenty of time to use the materials you check out. In addition to long check out lengths we also allow you to renew your books two times for the same checkout length.

Popular reading books 4 weeks
Curriculum library materials 4 weeks
Educational media to the end of the semester
