When using the Lending Library, members must sign in at the front desk.
Loan Period:
Materials may be checked out for a (4) four-week loan period. Equipment may be checked out for a (2) two-week loan period. Renewals are allowed as long as there is no “reserve request” for the materials. Members may bring back materials prior to the due date and check out new items.

If not checked out within (2) two business days, the item will be returned to the lending library or, if more than one reservation has been made for the item, the next person on the Reserve Request list will be contacted.
