            Below are the rules for more traditional physical items you can check out from the library, like books, DVDs, and CDs.

            Borrowing

            Renewing

            • The Library has autorenewal, which means your items will be renewed automatically up to four (4) times if no one is waiting for them. The new due date will be three (3) weeks from the original due date.

            Returning

            You can return items to any of our library locations, by using the book returns inside or outside the library, or by handing them to a staff member at the desk. There is no need to return items to the same location where you picked them up -- just bring them to the library that is the most convenient.

            One exception: if you have an interlibrary loan item, please return it to the library where you checked it out by handing it to a staff member -- dropping it in the book chute, or bringing it to a different library, could keep us from being able to return it to the library that owns it.
