How long can I borrow a book for? Do I need to renew it?

All books, apart from reference/confined items*, are 7 day loans which will auto-renew every 7 days until requested by another user. If your book is requested you will receive an email asking you to return it within 7 days of the due date. If you borrow a '7 day non-vacation loan' during one of our vacation periods, it can still be requested by another user during this period  - it is not a vacation loan and would need to be returned when requested.
 
Books can be returned at libraries or for free via postal returns. You can find more details and register for postal returns here: www.bristol.ac.uk/library/use/postal-returns/.
 
*Reference/confined items cannot be issued to your account and are for use in the library only.
