Collection Care & Guidelines

Book Care & Borrower Responsibilities

We are dedicated to maintaining a high-quality physical collection for academic excellence. Please review our user care guidelines, borrower expectations, and book restoration process.

Important Notice for Borrowers

Library users are expected to inspect all books prior to checkout and return materials in the same condition. Returning damaged items may result in assessment fees or replacement costs.

Pre-Checkout Inspection

Before leaving the circulation desk, please examine your books for torn pages, highlighting, water marks, or binding damage. Report any existing damage immediately to library staff so it can be noted prior to borrowing.

Inspect Before Checkout

Care & Safe Handling

Users are responsible for keeping books in good condition. Avoid writing in margins, folding page corners (dog-earing), or exposing books to moisture or food. Items returned with new damage are subject to repair fines.

Damage May Incur Fines

To maintain a vibrant and relevant collection, our library team regularly reviews materials. Worn or outdated books are systematically weeded out, while repairable books are sent for restoration.
