Loan periods apply to all materials regardless of whether they are in the adult, young adult, or youth collections.

Most materials will automatically renew on their due date as long as the materials are not requested to fill a hold. Automatic renewals may occur up to three times if the materials continue to not be requested to fill a hold. eMaterials cannot be renewed, but can be re-borrowed if available or re-requested if on hold for someone else.
