Fines

To encourage the timely return of library materials and to provide optimal sharing of the collections, fines are charged for overdue items. Borrowers are responsible for returning or renewing items by the due date. If items are not returned within the due date, fines will be charged for one dollar per day per item

Unpaid fines prevent a student from registering for classes, graduation, and withdrawals.

Lost or Damage

If the Library considers the item lost or damaged, the borrower will be charged the cost of that item plus the processing fee (50$).

A patron may provide a replacement for damaged or lost material if the replacement is an exact bibliographic match to the damaged/lost material

Return items

All checked-out library items must be returned only to the Library Circulation Desk or drop inside the returned box at the library.

Renew Book

Books checked out can be renewed two times except for materials on hold on or before the due date,  You can renew your book(s) in several ways: 

  • Online, through your library account
  • In-person, Present your books physically at the circulation desk
  • Send an email: rania.azad@auis.edu.krd

You will not be able to renew your books online if you have accumulated a fine or renewed the books more than 2 times.

Hold a Book

If your desired item is checked out by any other member, you can place a hold request so that when this book is returned by the patron, someone else doesn't get this book issued.

You will be notified by a system-generated email to pick the item from the library.
