Returning and renewing

• Books on loan will automatically renew unless someone else wants them. If that happens we'll email you and you will have a week to bring it back. So unless we tell you, you won't have to do anything, just keep the book until you no longer need it.
• High demand books will also automatically renew, however when they are recalled the return period will be 2 days as these books are frequently in use. 
• Books may be returned to any library using the self-service machines, at the Lending/Circulation Desk or in the book return boxes (when the library is closed).
• You are personally responsible for any books you have borrowed until the loan is cancelled.

Methods of returning

Fines

Fines [UK, China, Malaysia] are payable on all requested items returned late, at a rate of £1 per day to a maximum of £10 per book.  If your total fines build up to £10.00 (UK), 10 yuan (China), RM20 (Malaysia), your card will be blocked to prevent any further borrowing, renewing or reserving of items until the fine is paid in full.
