Loan Periods & Late Charges
AHML cardholders may have up to 100 items checked out at one time. Certain material types have restrictions on the number that can be borrowed. See table below for details.
Most items can be renewed twice, assuming there are no holds on the items.
Late charges will be waived for items returned or renewed within 3 days of the stated due date. Items returned or renewed 4 or more days late incur all late charges that accrue from the due date.
