Borrowing, renewing and returning

Fines may be charged if items reserved by another borrower are not returned by the given due date.

You will receive an auto renewal notification sent to your BCU email address informing you if an item cannot be automatically renewed.


How do I pay a library fine?

You can pay fines over £1 online using a credit/debit card. When making a payment online you will need to sign-in to Library Search using your university email address and password.

What do I do if I have lost a library item?

Please contact your home library if you think that you have lost one of our borrowed items.

We may ask you to either replace or pay the cost of items that are:

  • Overdue for 28 days or more
  • Lost
  • Returned damaged
  • Returned with parts missing
