Finding Books at the Library

Borrow and Renew
Borrow
Students of the University of Chicago can borrow unlimited items from the library for quarter-long loans. Use your UChicago Card or other library card to check out items or pick up items via our Paging & Pickup service.
For detailed due date information, see Due Dates and Loan Periods.
Renew
Regular loan items are renewed automatically three times. Once you reach the renewal limit, you must bring the items back to a Circulation desk to be renewed. Visit My Account in the Library Catalog and select Checked Out Items to see what you currently have checked out from the Library.
