General Borrowing Policies

Anyone who can check out library material may request a book checked out by another patron. There is a "place hold" link on the item record. If there is any trouble in placing a hold, please contact the Circulation Desk for assistance. Materials that have been requested by another patron may not be renewed by the original borrower. Holds may be placed on items that are currently available. Library staff will pull available material and place it at the Services Desk for pickup.  A hold item will be held for one week before it is returned to the shelf. If there are multiple holds on a book, they will be filled in the order the holds entered the system.

The Library will not recall books checkout by another user. Borrowers are welcome to place a hold on the book and wait for it to be returned or request to borrow a copy from another library through the UNO Library's interlibrary loan service.
