LRC Borrowing Policy
Your student card is your library card.
You MUST have your student card to borrow an item(s).
Borrowing
You can borrow a maximum of 5 items at any one time.
Items are loaned for either 1 or 2 weeks.
Items can be renewed before the due date by email, phone or online except if they have been reserved or are overdue. Contact details can be found on the date label.
You can renew an item a maximum of five times. The item must be returned at this point and if no other user requires it then it can be re-issued.
Items need to be produced to be renewed if they are overdue or have any outstanding fines.
Overdue Items
Fines on overdue items are - 10p per day for 2 week loans and 20p per day for 1 week loans.
A stop will be placed on borrowing once you are overdue and LRC computer access may also be denied. All fines will need to be paid before the suspension can be lifted.
Two overdue letters will be sent to request the return of the item(s).
Items not returned will be invoiced at the full replacement cost plus an administration fee of £5.00.
DO NOT let anyone else use your card – you will have to pay for any costs incurred.
DO NOT ask anyone else to borrow items for you.
