Patrons can check out up to 10 books. The library limits the number of materials that can be checked out to each user for several reasons. Firstly, we limit the number of materials to ensure that all patron's have access to materials needed for assignments and research. Secondly, we limit them to make sure that if a patron leaves the university without returning the materials we do not lose an excessive number of materials. Finally, we do make adjustments to the number of materials checked out on an individual basis. If you need additional materials, please speak to one of the full-time library employees.
