Biannual Checkout Policy Changing to Automatic Renewal

June 17, 2019 • John Merritt

Patrons who previously have been granted biannual loan periods with fixed due dates will hereafter receive an initial 3-week due date that will automatically renew every 1-3 days for up to 1-year. Email notifications will be sent when items are due or requested.

This change alters the procedure—not our practice—and is required by our transition to Hold Requests.

June 13, 2019 • John Merritt
