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 folders.
Loan Periods
Xavier Library items, OhioLINK items, and SearchOhio items have a built in autorenewal system. For items that may be renewed, 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.

Fines and Replacement Fees
Students: 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 Connection Center by cash or check. Unpaid fines and replacement fees will be sent to your Bursar account at the end of each month. In lieu of replacement fees, Xavier Library will accept a copy of the item in new condition. Overdue fines may still be applicable, depending on the item. Library privileges may be blocked if items are not returned or fines or replacement fees exceed $50 before being sent to the Bursar.
