RENEWAL OF MATERIALS: 
Materials can be renewed one time unless the items are recalled or placed on hold for another patron. Renewals may be made at the circulation desk or by phone. 

RETURNS: 
Eligible borrowers agree to return library materials on or before the due date. Materials can be returned in person, to the outside book drop (if not overdue), or by first class mail. If the material is recalled by Temple College Library, the TexShare borrower 
agrees to return the material immediately in person, or by priority mail. TexShare borrowers agree to pay charges incurred as a result of late return, damage, or loss of materials. Failure to comply will result in loss of TexShare Library Card privileges. 

US Mail: 
Hubert M. Dawson Library

Temple, TX 76504
OVERDUES: 
One notice is usually sent for overdue items; however, the Library is not responsible for notifying borrowers that materials are overdue. 

RECALLS: 
All items are subject to recall with the recall date replacing the original due date. 

NON-CIRCULATING ITEMS: 
Reference books, reserve materials, periodicals, microforms, audiovisual materials, all equipment. 

LOANS: 
Generally three weeks for general circulating collection, but loan periods vary toward the end of the semester, so check due date stamped on the items. 

FINES: 
Minimum of $.10 per day per book. Overdue fines for recall items will vary. 

LOST ITEMS: 
The borrower is responsible for lost or damaged materials. An item is presumed lost when it is not returned by 45 days following the end of the semester in which it was checked out. The borrower will be charged the actual replacement price of the book if still in print (or a default price of $15 for paperbacks, $30 for hardbacks, or the original cost of the item if it exceeds the default price if no longer in print) plus a non-refundable $10 processing fee. A repair cost as determined by the library will be charged for damaged materials. The home library of the TexShare borrower will be notified if lost or damaged materials are not paid in full. 

BILLING: 
Payment is due upon billing. Bills may be paid in person or by mail. Make checks payable to Temple College. Failure to pay will result in loss of borrowing privileges.
