Students: Borrowing, renewing & returning books

Borrowing, renewing and returning books

You can borrow up to four books at a time.

Books can be borrowed for two weeks at a time and renewed for a further two week if not required by another user (N.B. all books are subject to recall at any time if requested by another user). You can renew books in person, by phone or by logging in to My Library Account on the library website.

Books should be returned promptly to the Library. You will receive penalty points if books are not renewed or returned on time, this may prevent you taking out books in the future. You can avoid unnecessary penalty points by checking My Library Account regularly.

Books may be returned to the books return box or at the Issue Desk at any library location.


Can I borrow a book from another ATU library that is not available at ATU Galway Mayo?

Yes. To borrow a book from another ATU library you need to complete the Intercampus Borrowing Form. The library in question will then get in touch with you and arrange for you to borrow the book.
