RENEWALS:
Renew by phone or in person. Contact the Circulation Desk at 953-2230.
Items requested by another patron may not be renewed.

We also have book returns available at the front door and back circle where you can return your items. The book returns are open 24 hours.

OVERDUE ITEMS:
Patrons who have outstanding overdue items are prohibited from borrowing other library materials until the overdue items are either paid for or returned.

LOST OR DAMAGED ITEMS:
The person to whom an item is charged is responsible for the return of that item. Check with Circulation Staff if you have lost or damaged library materials. Replacement charges are based on current replacement prices.

HOLDS:
Contact the Circulation Staff if you wish to place a "hold" on a title that the AU library owns. AU library staff cannot place holds on materials located at the SNCO Academy Library, or the Maxwell or Gunter Community libraries.
The Circulation Staff will contact you when an item you placed on hold is available for pick up. The item will be held for you for three work days.
