Guidelines for Borrowing and renewing items

The library may find the items you need in its own collection or may borrow from another library. Borrowing policies will vary depending upon the lending library.

Oregon State Library borrowing & renewal guidelines:

• Books, documents, printed material: 28 days borrow, renew for same period.
• Videos: 2 weeks borrow, renew for same time period.
• Journal articles: Copies of Journal articles will be emailed to you or faxed to your office. You do not need to return Journal articles you request.
• Guidelines vary for special items such as rare books and high demand videos.

Borrowing from other libraries:

• If the item you request is borrowed from another library, we will inform you of that library's borrowing guidelines.
