• Your emailed loan receipt will indicate the due date of your item.
• Main Collection items will receive automatic renewals a few days before the item is due, up to a maximum of 40 weeks, unless the item is recalled by another patron.
• Recalls shorten the loan period to 14 days and automatic renewals will not occur.
• The Library sends a weekly Borrower Activity Statement email every Monday to notify patrons of due dates, recalls and overdue items. These automatic reminders are a courtesy.

• Concerns relating to any fines will only be considered if items have been post marked with a return date either before or matching your due date.

• Use the reply-paid satchel received with your delivery. No payment is required.
• If you do not want to return all of your borrowed items together please contact Ask the Library to request another satchel be posted to you.
