For the Fall 2020 semester, the Libraries have changed and simplified due dates as follows:

• TriCo Library books borrowed by students will be due November 20th, 2020, with one available renewal through February 15th, 2021.
• TriCo book due dates for faculty will not change.
• DVDs and multimedia equipment will check out for 2 weeks, with no renewals.
• Laptops will check out based on need, as determined in consultation with Help Desk staff.
• InterLibrary Loan materials will continue to circulate with due dates determined by the lending institution.
• Recalls will be turned off, but patrons may be contacted by library staff if an item is needed back temporarily to scan a passage for another patron or for online course reading.

There will be no daily or hourly overdue fines for any materials in Fall 2020; however, if an item is so overdue that the library assumes it is lost, patrons will be charged replacement fees. Replacement fees are waived upon return of a lost item.

Returned items will be quarantined for three days before being checked in from patrons’ accounts.
