Borrowing

Loan Periods

Returns

All borrowed materials and equipment should either be returned to the library's Circulation Desk or placed in a book return box. Book return boxes can be found directly outside the library doors and in the courtyard outside Building 3.

Renewals

Library materials may be renewed for one additional loan period (14 days for students, 28 days for faculty and staff) unless requested by another patron.
You may renew materials in person at the Circulation Desk or by calling the library at 857-701-1380. You may also renew books online by logging into the library catalog. Select Log in to your account and then scroll down to click on the Renew button for items you have checked out. You will need your User ID (RCC email address) and PIN number to log in.

Fines

Lost Materials

Lost items should be reported immediately in order to avoid a hold being placed on your student account.
Borrowers are charged the replacement cost of lost or damaged items.

Holding Materials

Patrons may request that up to twenty currently circulating items be held for them at the Circulation Desk when returned.
You may place a hold in person at the Circulation Desk or by calling 857-701-1380. You may also place a hold electronically by going to the library catalog. Search for the book you'd like to put on hold, then click on Place hold. You will need your User ID (RCC email address) and PIN number.
When the item becomes available, you will be notified by email. Materials are held at the Circulation Desk for ten days.
