Borrowing, renewing and returning items
Most members can have up to 10 items at any one time. The loan period for most items is 2 weeks or 6 weeks. Items can be renewed as long as someone else has not reserved a copy, and will be auto-renewed up to a max of 12 weeks.
You can return items to a member of library staff, use the self-service terminal, or place in the Book Returns box.
Items reserved by another reader that become overdue will be recalled, and there is a penalty charge of £10 if a recall letter is sent to you. Note that if you accrue £10 in total late return fees, you will not be able to borrow or renew any items until they are paid off.
Reserving items
You can reserve books that are on loan or on the shelf across KGH Library using the reservation facility on the KGH Library Catalogue.
We will hold reserved books for five working days for collection.
