Library books can be one of 4 different loan statuses:

Normal Loan: 3 weeks for undergraduates, 6 weeks for postgraduates
One Week: 1 week
Three Day: 3 day
Short Loan: Between 11am – 4pm on the day of issue, or between 4pm on the day of issue – 11am the following day.

But if you need a book for longer, it couldn’t be easier to renew.

If you can’t renew your books check that:

• they haven’t been requested by someone else (you will have received an email to let you know)
• your fines haven’t come to more than £35 (check the Fines and Fees section on the left – you can pay online or come into the Library)
• they are not Short Loan items (these cannot be renewed! If you can’t return them by 11am or 4pm, photocopy a chapter instead)

Come into the Library, email library@royalholloway.ac.uk, or use the Ask A Librarian online chat with any questions.
