The Borrowing and Circulation Service is one of the core services provided by the Central Library. It enables registered library members to borrow books and other materials for academic and research purposes.

The circulation desk is responsible for managing the process of lending, returning, renewing, and reserving library materials. This service ensures that library collections are properly used and made available fairly to all users.

Key services include:

  • Issuing library membership cards for students, academic staff, and university employees.
  • Borrowing and returning books according to library rules and time limits.
  • Renewal of borrowed materials, allowing users to extend borrowing periods when resources are not reserved by others.
  • Reservation services, enabling users to request materials that are currently borrowed.
  • Monitoring overdue materials and applying appropriate procedures for late returns.
  • Providing user assistance, including guidance on how to search for books and access the library catalogue.

The library encourages all users to respect borrowing rules and return materials on time to ensure equal access to all members of the university community.
