Services
Circulation of Materials
Most LRTC resources check out for 21 days and can be renewed. Fines are not charged for overdue materials but items must be returned to avoid placement of a hold on a student's record, preventing the student from registering for classes or receiving grades and transcripts. If individuals damage or lose materials, costs for replacement will be assessed.
Periodicals' Holdings
