You will need your student card. We have created a self check-out station at the library circulation desk. Below is a cheat sheet, but please don’t hesitate to ask for help 🙂

Where do I return my book?

In the large bin at the front of the library. Textbooks will be collected at the end of the semester during your exams. Please ensure all books are returned at the end of each semester to avoid overdue charges.
