► End of semester: Why is my book due back in less than 3 weeks toward the end of the semester?

If you have outstanding library fines, you cannot register for classes, so make sure to return your book(s) and pay your fine as soon as possible.

During the hours when the library is open, books should be placed in the book drop located next to the Information Desk in the library.
