Book lovers: return or renew now!

We’ve had a flurry of overdue books being returned over the last few weeks but there are still nearly 500 outstanding overdues as we approach the end of the academic year.  

We love to see students borrowing books but we also like to see them being renewed or returned on time so others can borrow them.

 In the next few weeks we would like all students to check their bags, lockers and at home for books they are no longer reading, and return them as soon as possible. 

If you have an overdue book that you still require you can always renew it online or ask library staff to help you extend your loan at the desk.   

A challenge to all students – bring down the thermometer

For the remainder of the year the library will hold an overdue book drive to encourage student to return or renew their books.  A book thermometer will be displayed in the library and updated each week indicating how many books are still overdue.

Our starting point is the overdue reading as of November 2: 481 books.    The challenge is for all students to help reduce the overdue thermometer, let's see if we can get it down to zero! 

Extended holiday reading

From 1st December, there will be extended loans for recreational reading over the holiday period.  Come into the library and ask the Librarians about the extended loans or summer reading recommendations, we have some great new titles.
