How long can I keep items?
Standard loans
All Standard loans can be borrowed for 6 weeks*. Remember that we may ask you to return the item earlier if another Library member requests it - see recalls
- You can renew standard loans if not wanted by another person ( External Borrowers are limited to 5 renewals)
- Holds can be placed on standard loan items - see Placing & cancelling a hold using Enterprise
- Fines are charged for late return on recalled items, currently 80p per day - see Fines
*If another person is already waiting for the item, you will be able to borrow it for 7-days and no renewals will be possible.
