Student Circulation Policies

Main Collection – students

The main collection consists of all books housed on the upper level of the library, including the oversize books.  It also includes the leisure book collection located on the main level of the library near the rotunda.  Students can have up to fifteen (15) items from the main collection checked out at any one time.

Your TNU ID is your library card; be sure to present it when you check out materials.

All overdue materials must be returned and fines must be paid before further library materials can be checked out.  Overdue fines for materials from the main collection are charged at the rate of ten cents per item per day.
