Email notifications for overdue library items

The library has recently changed its notification procedures for students' overdue library items.

Keep a note of library book due dates!

In an effort to ensure library books are returned by their due date, and to avoid unnecessary billing for 'lost' books (that may actually be in lockers or sitting on bedside tables!), the Library has reassessed its notification procedures.

Students will receive an email reminder when their borrowed books are due for return within the week, and a weekly email will also be sent to students with books that are overdue by seven days or more. In addition, parents will be notified by email twice a term if their child(ren) have outstanding library books by several weeks. Replacement costs are charged for lost or damaged books, so it's important to keep track of where library books are once borrowed! 

It's always a great idea to have a particular place at home where library books live to minimise the chances of books being lost or misplaced, especially when a student borrows from both College and public libraries. If there are any concerns regarding a lost book, or if a student would like to extend their loan period, a chat with any of the friendly Library staff is always welcomed.
