Borrow Books
For information on borrowing books (how many? how long? late fines? etc.), see the Library's Circulation Policies.
Place a Hold on a Book That Someone Else Has Borrowed
If you would like to borrow a book that is already checked out by another user, you can use the online Hold Request Form to place a hold on that book, which will add your name to a waiting list. You will be notified as soon as the book returns and is ready for you to check it out.
Renew Books
