Changes to Macquarie Regional Library Loans Policy: On Monday November 16, Macquarie Regional Library will be ending some of the temporary changes it made to its Loans Policy at the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic, and these changes may affect your borrowing privileges.
From Monday November 16: The maximum number of items you can have on loan at any one time will return to 20 items.
The maximum amount of fines you can have on your account and still borrow will return to $10. If your fines balance is over $10, you will need to reduce it below this amount in order to borrow items from November 16.
All physical items will have a 3 week loan period, including DVDs and magazines.
You may renew your loan twice, providing your item is not overdue or reserved by another library member.
