*Library staff reserves the right to make exception to these policies on a case-by-case basis*

Items may be renewed for a second borrowing period of equal length if no hold has been placed by other patrons. Items may be renewed via the My Library Account area of the QVCC Online Catalog. Items may also be renewed by calling or visiting the library. Patrons wishing to renew items more than once must call or visit the Main Desk in the Danielson campus library.

Library materials can be returned to:

  • the main desk in the Danielson campus library
  • the outdoor Book Drop box (located in the main parking lot)
  • the book slot by the left side of the Library door

Patrons with overdue materials receive an overdue notice one week later, and two weeks later, a bill. The library does not charge fines for materials returned in good condition. A replacement fee may be charged for all damaged, lost, or missing items. Unpaid replacement fees may result in suspension of borrowing privileges and a Banner hold that affects QVCC transactions, including registration, grades, graduation, and transcripts.
