*Elon faculty borrowing periods may differ.

There are no library late fines on any type of library material.

Patrons will receive a courtesy notice before an item is overdue. Length of time for notices varies based upon the length of the loan. Items not returned and considered lost will be billed at the rate of $60.00 per item ($50.00 cost of the item, plus a $5.00 processing fee and a $5.00 non-refundable billing fee). This processing fee covers costs involved in ordering, cataloging, and processing the materials.

Reserves

Books and other items on reserve may be borrowed 2 hours, 4 hours, 1 day or 3 days, as determined by the professor.
