You may not lend CTBL materials to other people.

Loan Period for Audio and Large Print Books
The loan period begins from the date the patron receives the book. The length of the loan period for individual patrons is 1 month, for students 2 months and institutional deposit collections 3 months. If you have not finished reading or listening to your books, you can renew by extending the loan period. Please call the library.

We would like to remind patrons that the newest books are the most popular and always have a waiting list. If you could listen to or read and return these books in a timely fashion, other patrons will not have to wait as long.

Loan Period for Braille
The loan period for Braille books is 2 months from the date the patron receives the book.

Loan Period for Magazines
Magazines, usually circulated in paper or cardboard mailing envelopes, are yours to keep. CTBL recorded magazines and newsletters that arrive in plastic mailing containers should be returned to CTBL. They count as a book on your account and need to be checked in.

Loan Period for Descriptive Video
The loan period for descriptive video is 1 month from the date the patron receives the video.

You will not be charged a fine for overdue materials; however, persistent failure to abide by the Loan Policy may result in suspension of service for up to 6 months. Overdue reminders are sent out after 6 months.
