Return or renew library books

With the end of term approaching, we will be reminding students to return or renew their overdue library books.

Self service options are available on the library webpage so that students can manage their borrowing from anywhere. Students can log in to the library website (http://library.nhs.vic.edu.au) with their Compass details to check on their loans, renew items and place reserves for books they want to borrow.
