How many items can I borrow?
You can borrow up to 30 items( 20 for NHS users).
How long can I borrow them for?
Books are automatically renewed unless someone requests them, but you will need to return them before you graduate from Keele.
How does automatic renewal work?
A couple of days before your items are due, the Library will try to renew them for you. However, this won’ t happen if someone else has requested the item or if you owe more than £ 10 in fines. If the renewal doesn’ t go through, we’ ll email you so you can return it on time. If an item has been requested and is overdue, you’ ll be charged £ 1 per day until you return it.
