You are responsible for all items checked out on your library account. The Library will contact you through email regarding your items, including due dates, and recalls. Please check your email regularly. If you are not seeing emails from Circulation Dept. (libcirc@xavier.edu), check your spam or Clutter folder.
Xavier Library items, OhioLINK items, and SearchOhio items have a built in autorenewal system. 3 days before the due date the system will attempt to renew your item. You will receive an email at that time indicating whether or not the renewal was successful. As long as you have renewals available and no one has put a hold on the item, you may continue to keep it.

Fine Amounts
Xavier Library Items do not accrue late fines, but items borrowed from other libraries do. All items have a replacement fee after they have been overdue for a certain period (30 days for most items; 24 hours for laptops, chargers, calculators and umbrellas). Fines and replacement fees can be paid at the CLC Service desk by cash or check. Students, fines and fees will be sent to your Bursar account at the end of each month. Library privileges may be blocked if items are not returned or fines are not paid. In lieu of replacement fees, Xavier Library will accept a copy of the item in New or Like New condition. Overdue fines may still be applicable, depending on the item.
