Himmelfarb Library materials can be returned to:
- The Library Circulation Desk.
- The book drop outside the Library entrance. (Please see restrictions below)
Restrictions:
Print and AV Reserve materials must be returned directly to the Library Circulation Desk to avoid late fees.
Do not return Himmelfarb materials to Gelman Library, J. Burns Law Library, or any consortium libraries! Fines will continue to accrue unless materials are returned directly to Himmelfarb.
Materials overdue for more than three weeks are automatically subject to replacement fees of $25/item plus the cost of the item. Replacement fees will be waived if the material is returned.
Paying Fines:
Fines may be paid at the Circulation Desk on the First Floor of the Library. You may pay fines and fees with cash, check, money order or debit card. Charges of more than $5.00 may be paid using a credit card (Visa or MasterCard). We are not able to accept GWorld cards for fine payment.
All borrowers, including faculty, are subject to overdue fines.
