Borrowing

HPU faculty, staff, and students may borrow circulating materials from the University Libraries upon presentation of a valid HPU ID card (UniCard). All patrons are subject to the Circulating Materials Policy of the HPU Libraries and are responsible for the materials borrowed from the University Libraries until they are returned. Patrons are also responsible for any fines and fees incurred for late, lost or damaged materials. Reference books are non-circulating.

Renewing

Renewals are not automatic or guaranteed and should be requested at least 24 hours in advance. The number of renewals allowed for each patron and item type is shown in the Circulating Materials Policy. If an item cannot be renewed it must be returned by the due date to prevent lost fees from being incurred. Overdue items cannot be renewed and should be returned to the Libraries immediately. Renewals can be requested in-person at any HPU library branch, by phone, or online.
