Borrowing and Returning Library Items

If you wish to borrow an item from the Library you should come to the Library to borrow it. When in the Library, you can use the self-service machine to borrow or return books, CDs and DVDs.

When you have finished using your borrowed items, please return them to the Library so other library users can borrow them.

Renewing Your Loans

Your library books will be automatically renewed unless someone else reserves them.

Although your books will be automatically renewed, you are still responsible for all books borrowed in your name. You are reminded to check any emails that you receive from the library and return any reserved items and items you have finished with as requested.

If you have more than £10 in fines on your Library account, you cannot borrow additional items.

Fines

Fines are charged on late returned items as follows:

Books	If someone else has reserved your item, you must return your item(s) to the Library by the due date otherwise you will be fined £1 a day for each requested book up to a maximum of £15. The Library will inform you by email if any books cannot be renewed and will send you a monthly statement of the books which you have on loan.
Laptops	£1 per hour
CDs	50p per day
DVDs	Students: £1 per day

You can use the self-service machine to pay your library fines. You must have your Coventry University London student ID card with you to access your library account on the self-service machine, and you can only pay your library fines using a debit or credit card.

If you have forgotten your ID card but have some other ID with you (e.g. passport, driving licence), you can pay your fines at the Student Information Desk on the 3rd floor. You must come back to the Library once you have paid your fines, with your receipt, so that Library staff can update your Library account.

If you are no longer in London or the United Kingdom, you can pay your library fines via the online payment portal. Please visit http://www.coventry.ac.uk/london/study/fees-and-finance/how-to-pay/ and follow the instructions.
