General circulation materials may be returned to any PCC campus library.
Reserve materials must be returned to the library from which they were checked out.

General circulation materials may be checked out until the end of the current term and may be renewed for one additional term.

To allow maximum access to materials by all library users, the library requests that faculty and staff return materials promptly.
