Yes Magazines may be renewed once. Books, however, may be renewed for another 2 week period. All material borrowed from the CFA Library must be returned to the library. There is a slot in the top of the circulation desk where you may drop your material into the book return. At the point of check out, you are given a date due label. It is your responsibility to return material on time. If you lose the label, Mrs. Nawri can tell you when the material is due. Once the material becomes past due, you may receive up to 3 overdue notices. If the material is still not returned, you may be assigned recess detention.

Also, please note that if you have any overdue material, you may not check out additional items until the overdue is returned. <span style="font-family: Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif;">There are 3 stand-up computers that are always logged on to the OPAC (online public access catalog) so you may search to find what material the library owns and its availability.
