Catalog | Lending Policies  | Request Materials | NET Library Overview

Any responsible individual of the State of North Carolina may borrow materials.  Materials are lent free of charge. Borrowers pay return postage only. Return must be made by a delivery service such as UPS.

The Resource Request Form must arrive in the library at least 10 days before the "Date Needed", but reserving your materials at least one month in advance will ensure their availability when you need them.

Materials are lent for four weeks from the date of departure from the Library. A one-week "grace period" is granted to allow the return of materials through the mail. Should you need to keep the materials past the due date, call for an extension and the due date may be extended depending on demand for the material.

A "First Overdue" notice is issued to the borrower when materials are not returned by the due date. A "Second Overdue" notice follows two weeks later if the materials are still not returned. A "Third Overdue" notice follows two weeks after the second, stating that the borrower has lost borrowing privileges until all materials have been returned. Privileges will be restored if materials are returned within two weeks of the "Third Overdue" notice, otherwise the borrower will no longer be eligible to borrow materials. Extenuating circumstances will be taken into consideration.
