Circulation The circulation period for books, audio-visual material, curriculum and items from the resource room is one month. All circulating items are subject to recall after two weeks if requested by another borrower and will be expected back in the library five days from the date of the recall notice. One-month renewals may be made by phone, by e-mail or in person. Periodicals and Reference materials must remain in the library so that they are available to all patrons. Overdue items accumulate fines at the rate of 25 cents per day per item to a maximum of $15.00 per item. If the overdue item has not been returned and the maximum fine paid, the student will receive an invoice for cost plus $25 per item replacement where the additional $25 goes toward covering cataloging and processing expense. When fines have reached a total of $5.00 or greater, notices are sent out. Borrowing privileges are suspended when fines reach $25.00 or when any balance $5.00 or greater has been unpaid for 60 days or more. All materials must be properly charged out at the circulation desk and returned there when due -- or to the front door drop box during closed hours. The borrower who charges out a book is responsible for its return (or its replacement, if lost), even though it may have been given to another person. Although not a public library, borrowing privileges are available for outside users. A photo id card such as driver's license is necessary to establish identity at registration. An LTS library card will be issued. There is a limitation on the number of items outside users may borrow. The Library reserves the right to restrict library privileges. High school students are welcomed individually for help with assignments pertaining to religious studies. However, where more than one student from any class is here simultaneously or sequentially on a school project, they must be accompanied by their teacher, with arrangements made in advance. More specific circulation policies for different categories of users are provided in handouts available at the Circulation Desk. Reserves Reserve books for student use are shelved in the area behind the circulation desk. Request all reserve materials from a member of the library staff. These materials are to be used in the Library during regular library hours.
