Borrowing library books
• Choose your books, take them to the self-service kiosk
or bring them to the counter and show your DCG ID
card.
• You can borrow up to eight books at a time.
• Books can be kept between one day and seven weeks
depending on the type of loan.
• If the book you want is already on loan, we can reserve
it for you, or you can reserve it yourself by using the
online Library Catalogue.
Self-service kiosks are available at our Broomfield Hall,
The Joseph Wright Centre, and The Roundhouse site
libraries for borrowing, renewing and returning DCG
library books.
Renewing library books
You can renew books if you need to keep them for a
longer period of time. Books can be renewed twice by:
• e-mail,
• phone,
• in person (at any DCG site library) at the self-service
kiosk or the library counter.
Please remember, we will charge a fine for an overdue
book.
Fines and charges
• Late returns will incur a fine of 10p per item for each
day it is late (excluding weekends and DCG holidays).
• The maximum a fine can reach is £5 and you will need
to pay it before borrowing further items.
• Lost or damaged books will need to be paid for. We do
not accept replacements or alternative texts.
• If you do not return your book, we will send you an
invoice to recover the value of the book.
