Books are usually renewed for 4-5 weeks depending on the lending library.
All books are supplied subject to early recall by the lending library and must be returned as soon as recalled.
Please return all Document Supply books to the service desk. You will be issued with a receipt card as proof you have returned the book.
Do not use the Returns Machine; this does not check the book in and will not remove the item from your library record.
