Borrowing Library Materials

Your ESF or SU college I.D. serves as your library card. A courtesy card may also be issued to outside borrowers (i.e., not ESF or SU students or staff) upon presentation of acceptable I.D.

Moon Library loans materials as follows:

Semester Loan:

Books
Theses
Environmental Impact Statements

Semester Loans may be recalled after three weeks if needed by another patron. If a recalled book is not returned, it is considered overdue and fines are charged. Any book may be recalled immediately if needed for reserve.

7 Day Circulation:

Videotape and DVD Collection

Overnight Circulation:

Bound Periodicals and Topographic Maps

No Circulation: (Exceptions may be granted by a librarian)

Permanent and Reserve Books
Current Periodicals
Reference Books

A few other materials within the book collection marked DO NOT CIRCULATE

If you wish to renew Moon Library books at the end of the semester, please bring them to the library, or renew ESF and SU items your My Account link in the library's Classic Catalog.

Overdue notices generated by the automated circulation system are sent as a courtesy; failure to receive one doesn’t exempt you from overdue charges. Charges are $.25 per day per book, calculated from the due date unless returned during the 4-day "grace" period immediately following the due date. The maximum fine is $20 per book. Other overdue charges are:

Loan Type	ChargeCharges	Max. per item
overnight & 7-day loans	$1.00 per day	$20
recalled books	$1.00 per day	$30
2-hr loan reserve material	$1.00 per hour	$50
Iinterlibrary loan items	$1.00 per day	$30

ESF Fines may be paid in Moon Library Monday- Friday. 8:00 AM-4:00 PM.

Persons who have failed to meet their obligations to the college library will be denied library privileges. Grades, registration, transcripts and diploma may be withheld for serious offenders.

Lost Books - When an item is 40 days overdue, it is assumed lost and the borrower is charged $100 or the actual replacement cost for the item, plus a $20 lost item processing fee. If the item is subsequently returned, the replacement fee is not charged, but the $20 lost item processing fee is still payable.
