A patron may request that a book be held at the circulation desk. If the book is charged out, the patron will be notified when it is returned. The book will be held at the circulation desk for one week. Holds may not be placed on reserve materials.
Books charged out to patrons may be recalled before they are due.
Notices regarding overdue items may be sent to a patron's Manhattan College e-mail account. The borrower is responsible for any charges or fees assessed for late or unreturned items whether or not such a notice has been received.
By New York State law, library circulation records are confidential. The name of a patron having a particular item charged out cannot be given to anyone.
