We are changing our borrowing policies and fines and fees structure to encourage our users to be responsible in sharing the library’s rich array of resources. However, we are also adding a second renewal to most of our borrowers profile types including Student and Faculty borrowers.  So in effect, most borrowers will be able to keep materials out *except reserves* a third longer than before: one check out, two renewals.  Don’t forget to renew online to prevent overdue fine from accruing.
