Return or renew items by the due date. If items are overdue, borrowing rights are blocked. Return items as soon as possible or contact the library to see if a renewal is possible.

Please notify the Library if your contact details change.   Academic staff and UD enrolled students must contact the SBC College Registrar to update contact details.
