Loan Periods & Renewing Library Materials

Loan periods
Items borrowed from the Riverland Libraries vary according to the type of material.
 
For students:
Books = 28 days with renewal allowed
Videorecordings = 3 days with one renewal allowed
Audiorecordings = 14 days with one renewal allowed
 
Fines
Daily fines are not charged for Riverland owned books, videorecordings or audiobooks but processing fees are charged if items are not returned in a timely manner.  Overdue notices are sent to patrons as a reminder.
 
Course reserve loan periods are established by faculty member placing item on reserve.  A daily fine is charged for overdue course reserve items.
