Book usage guidelines

  • Take care of your books

    Avoid tearing pages or writing in them, and ensure that barcodes remain intact

  • Timely return

    Failure to return textbooks on time not only deprive other readers of access to needed resources but also impacts your ability to borrow additional books

  • Swapping books prohibited

    Please refrain from exchanging books with others. Upon return, books are deregistered from the account of the person they were issued to, rather than the individual returning them
