Checkout reserves
Ask for reserves at the library checkout desk. These are available on a first come first serve basis. You may checkout 3 items or 1 video at a time. Most items are library-use only, but some may go out of the library for short periods of time (determined by Instructors).
Return items to the same checkout desk where they were borrowed. Fines for overdue reserves are $.25 per hour. Renewals are allowed only if there is a copy on the shelf; otherwise it must be returned for a minimum of 15 minutes.
