VCCA Fellows are allowed to check out books from the Cochran Library for a period of one month. In order to check out any "media" items, (DVDs, Books on Tape, etc.) the VCCA Fellow may leave the media item at the front desk where the secretary for the VCCA will check it out for the VCCA Fellow. The Fellow must notify the secretary that an item (or items) is waiting to be checked out at the Library's front desk.
We no longer
charge overdue fines for books! However, if your book is overdue,
you will get a notice. If you lose a book you will be billed, but
we no longer charge overdue fines on books. Audio, video
and software are charged at one dollar per day. Late
reserve items are charged at 25 cents per hour.
In the last
week of classes of fall and spring terms, the library holds a pet
food drive for the Amherst County Animal Shelter. Donations
to the pet food drive will erase all overdue fines, but they will
not erase lost material fees.
Books may be
renewed for a second loan period only once and only if no one else
has requested the item in the meantime. Videos and CDs may only
be renewed for one day. You can renew your items online by going
to LION and clicking on the Your
Library Records tab. Enter the number shown on the front of your SBC ID and
you will have access to a list of all the items you have checked
out. Check boxes in the far left column to renew your material.
If you prefer, the Circulation staff can renew your material over
the phone at (434) 381-6138. |
