• Always present your EMU ID or Community patron card to the circulation worker when you check out materials. No ID, no check out.
  
  
• An email notice is sent out 3 days before materials are due. A link to "User Services" will allow renewal of materials if there are no fines or holds.
  
  
• Fines are 25 cents per item per day.
  
  
• If a checked out item is placed on hold by another patron it cannot be renewed.
  
  
• Items placed on hold will become due the next day, provided the item has been checked out for at least two weeks. Recalled items are due immediately and must be returned to the library or fines will accrue at the rate of $1.00 per day. This policy applies to all EMU library patrons including faculty and staff. Patrons will be notified by email when an item is recalled.
  
  
• You may renew checked out items electronically through Sadie. Click here to renew materials you have checked out. You will need to enter your EMU ID number or Community Card barcode. You will only be able to renew items twice. If an item is on hold for another patron or there are fines associated with the items you may not be able to renew the item.

• Faculty who need information about placing materials on reserve should look at "Faculty Services."
