Borrow, Return, Renew

Please ensure that you make a note of the due dates and renew or return your loans on time. Although we send reminders and overdue notices, the management of your Library account is your responsibility. Fines are applicable to all Library users.

When charges have been outstanding for 2 days or more, a stop will be placed on your account preventing new loans, reservations and inter library loan requests. You can still renew your current loans as long as they have not been reserved by another customer.

Fines are charged at the following rates:

• Standard loan 10p per day per item including weekends to a maximum of £3
• Weekly loan 50p per day per item including weekends to a maximum of £6
• High demand loan 50p per day per item including weekends  to a maximum of £6
• Inter library loan 50p per day per item including weekends to a maximun of £6
• Consultation loan 50p per hour per item including weekends to a maximum of £6
• iPads loans £5 per hour per item including weekends to a maximum of £75

Miscellaneous charges: Inter library loan (ILL) renewals cost will be added to your Library account when an ILL is successfully renewed.
