Borrowing Privileges (PDF)
Many books in our collections may be checked out. Some items, such as reference materials may be used in the library. Journals, current or bound, do not circulate, as this is primarily a research collection and these volumes need to be available to researchers at all times. The collection is listed in our online catalog. The standard circulation period is four weeks and books may be renewed twice. We also reserve the right to recall an item in the event of an emergent need.
