FAQs

What happens if my books have been recalled?

If you have borrowed a book which another customer has requested via Click and Collect, you will receive an email from the Library asking you to return it. This may be earlier than the original due date. The new return date will be shown on the Recall email and this will be 7 days after the Click and Collect request was placed. If you do not return the book by the new due date your library record will be blocked and you will be unable to borrow or renew items.

How many Click and Collect requests can I make at any one time?
