Library members can borrow books, DVDs and other material from any Queen’s library using their Queen’s staff, student or library card. Items are loaned for a specified length of time, depending on the type of borrower. Standard and one week loans can be renewed up to five times, if not required by another borrower. Requests can be placed for standard and one week loan items. Items may be recalled if required by another person. Fines are charged for late returns on all items.
