Yes, You May Check Out Books for the Summer!


Library books may be checked out for the summer. Books will be due August 23, 2008, the day New Student Orientation begins. There is a grace period for returning books and if you return books by the time classes start there will not be any fine.

If you currently have books checked out that you would like to keep for the summer, you may renew them online at https://cat.lib.grinnell.edu/patroninfo

RECALLED BOOKS: Remember to check your Grinnell email during the summer. If a book you have is recalled for use by another patron, you will need to return it by the NEW due date. You will have to bring the book in or have it delivered to us in a timely manner (via UPS, USPS, FedEx, etc.). Recalled books are due in 3 days from the date of recall.

Audio and video recordings and bound periodicals check out for their normal loan periods and are not available for summer checkout.

Is this a new policy? I wish I could've done this when I was a student (or known that it was an option). And what if a summer MAP student or faculty member recalls a book that someone has checked out over the summer? Would the library have to resort to ILL?

Nevermind, I see what you're doing about recalls. Seems like it could be a hassle.
