• Course Reserves: All items on course reserve are due back in 2 hours. If an item is checked out within 2 hours of the close of the library, the item will be due back the following morning.
• Interlibrary Loan: Interlibrary loan due dates are set by the lending library and can be viewed on the book wrapper or in your library account. Requests for renewal should be sent to jtucker@bennington.edu and are at the discretion of the lending library.
• End of Term: Within 30 days of the end of term, all items checked out to students will be due at the end of term.
• Course Books: Found on the back wall of the bottom floor of Crossett Library, these are donated copies of required readings from previous terms. Course books can be checked out for the full term.

Crossett Library does not charge overdue fines for materials we own. We ask that you be respectful to the community and return materials promptly when you're done using them, or renew them online or at the front desk of Crossett. You do not need to bring the materials to Crossett to have them renewed.

When logged into Crossett's catalog, you can view your account, including items checked out, and renew them yourself ahead of the due date. Head to Crossett's catalog
