Help the Libraries, Help Yourself: Amnesty for Overdue and Lost Books


This May, the UNCG Libraries is changing circulation systems and wants as many items as possible returned before May 16 so that accounts may be cleared before the switch.
To help the effort we are offering  fee and fine amnesty!  From April 24-May 16, you may return Jackson or Harold Schiffman Music Library Lost or Overdue books and pay no fines or fees. No questions asked!
Here's the "fine" print: Fines and fees will only be waived for Libraries books returned during this period. No credit will be given towards fines or fees for reserves, technology or AV equipment, DVDs, damaged items, or on any items returned prior to April 24.
As always, no refunds or credits can be given on items more than 6 months overdue.
If you are not ready to return some library materials, please plan to renew those items before May 16.

If you have any questions or would like more information, please contact the Access Services Department at 334-5304 or reserves@uncg.edu.
