Reserves
Faculty may place materials on reserve in the library. Students may request these reserved materials from the Information Center. Most of the reserved materials are for in-library use only, unless the instructor advises otherwise. A valid picture ID card is required to use any materials on reserve. A reserve item has a checkout period of two hours. After the checkout time has elapsed, patrons will be charged $1.00 for every five minutes it is overdue.
College Personnel
Current CVCC faculty and staff may check out any item in the library collection. All items checked out are due by the end of the semester. Faculty and staff are encouraged to return the items on time, even though no overdue fines will be imposed.
Student Users
A student wishing to obtain a book that is currently checked out may request that the library hold the book for him or her upon its return. If the book has been checked out for at least two weeks, library staff may recall the book on the student’s behalf. The student will be notified when the book is available; the book will be held at the Information Center.
The library charges twenty cents per day for each overdue book. The replacement cost for a lost or damaged book will be determined by current market value plus processing fees and overdue fines. Students with overdue fines or other penalties will be placed on library hold, which will prevent them from registering for classes, receiving transcripts, and graduating from the College.
Fines and replacement charges are paid in the Business Office. Methods of payment accepted are cash, credit card or money order. No personal checks will be accepted.
Overdue notices are mailed bi-monthly as a courtesy to students. Failure to receive overdue notices doesn’t absolve students from payments.
