The usual loan period for borrowing library books for recreational reading is 3 weeks, textbook loan periods vary from subject to subject, and the Library HSC collection has a 3 day loan period. Students receive notifications to alert them as to when books are due for return, and when books are overdue.

Every Friday – ‘due date is pending’ notifications emailed to students
Every Monday – overdue notifications emailed to students

Once or twice a term, we also provide students with hardcopy slips listing very overdue books that are about to be charged to school accounts. Fiction books need to be replaced in a timely manner to ensure the collection remains relevant, however textbooks need to be replaced more urgently – it is vital we have the correct quantity of textbooks to loan out to the next class / cohort studying the text.

Students can view their current library loans via Destiny Discover. Once logged in, choose My Stuff and then Checkouts to view all books currently on loan, and the dates for return.

As always, Library staff are happy to answer any questions or concerns students may have regarding their loans.
