Loan Policy & Procedure

Registration 
All users are required to register. For registration, a passport size photograph (digital or print copy) and a S$10.00 fee are required.

Loan Items
All loan items must be charged out before they can be taken out of the Library. Borrowers must personally return the books to the Library in order to avoid loss or misplacement of books on transit.

Borrowers are held personally responsible for books and other materials they have borrowed. Library materials may not be borrowed on behalf of others or lent to others.

Reservation of Books
New books, which are on bi-weekly display, and books that are out on loan, can be reserved with the Circulation staff either in person, by phone (68702439) or email. The Library will notify users once the books are available on loan.  Reserved books will be kept for three days only.

Due Date and Renewals
All borrowed items should be returned by the due date or renewed by that date. Borrowers may telephone or email the Library for only the first two renewals of each book, provided it has not been reserved. For subsequent renewals, the books may be renewed only if they have not been reserved by another user, or if they are not overdue, and if they are presented personally at the Library.

Overdue loans/Damage/Loss of items
Materials which are long overdue and are not returned will be deemed lost. The borrower will be liable to pay for the full costs of the items plus handling and other charges. Fines may be imposed and suspension of borrowing and/or other library privileges may also be imposed in such a case.
