Borrowing Materials & Library Use Policies

Books and library equipment

Where and when can I return my library books or equipment? What if I get a notice saying something is overdue?

When: To check the due date of a book or other item you have checked out, log into your library account or call the library. You may also be able to renew a book that's due, if no one else is waiting for it.

Overdue materials: Please return any overdue materials as soon as possible, even if it's already late. If something is late and you can't make it to the library to return it, please call or chat in to let us know. We may be able to renew it, or stop a hold from being put on your record. 

Where: 

1. Books and other equipment may be returned to the Cedar Rapids Campus library, at the service desk.
2. Books may be returned to the outside drop box. It's located at the Cedar Rapids Campus in the parking lot across from the Benton Hall library entrance. Please return equipment to the library service desk during open hours.
