Borrowing

Borrowing

HPU faculty, staff, and students may borrow circulating materials from the University Library upon presentation of a valid HPU ID card (UniCard). All patrons are subject to the Circulating Materials Policy of the HPU Library and Learning Commons and are responsible for the materials borrowed from the University Library and Learning Commons until they are returned.  Patrons are also responsible for any fines and fees incurred for late, lost, or damaged materials.  Reference books are non-circulating.

The number of renewals allowed for each patron and item type is shown in the Circulating Materials Policy. If an item cannot be renewed it must be returned by the due date to prevent lost fees from being incurred. Overdue items cannot be renewed and should be returned to the Library immediately.
