Borrowing Policies
Borrowing Privileges
Anyone with a valid Harvard ID or a KSG Library Special Borrower's card may borrow books from the KSG Library's circulating collection.
Borrowing Periods - General Collection
Students: 28 days
Faculty and Staff: Due dates are Sept. 10, Feb. 10, or
June 10 depending on when the material was borrowed.
Borrowing Periods - Reserve Collection
Three hours, or, if borrowed within 3 hours of closing, overnight. Materials borrowed overnight are due back the next day, one half hour after the library opens.
Borrowing Periods - DVD's from the Reel Politik Collection
3 days
Renewals
Items from the general collection may be renewed electronically, from the "Your Account" pages in the HOLLIS Catalog, in person, or by phone up to 5 times. Reserve materials can be renewed only in person.
Recalls
If another library user requests an item that you have borrowed, we will notify you that the book must be returned before its original due date. Books are subject to recall after a minimum of 14 days, and they are then due 7 days after the recall notice has been sent out.
Overdue Fines
Regular Books:$2.00 on the 4th day overdue (there is
a 3 day grace period) and $.50 per day thereafter. Fines will
be half price if paid in person, but must be paid promptly.
Once the charges go to the term bill office, there can be no
price reduction.
DVD's from the Reel Politik Collection: $.50 per day
Recalled items: $2.00 per day
Reserve materials: $1.00 per hour per overdue item.
Replacement Fees: The charge for a lost book is $75.00
plus accrued fines.
