Library Service query



Will you please be able to tell me how many grace periods students will get after the due date for library books have gone?and form what day will library fine apply? How much is a library fine per book per day?

Also, if there is a book that the university library (in all campuses) does not have, will students be able to request it to be bought by the university library, to be then available in the library itself? and if yes, to who do they make requests to?

I hope you will help with the queries.


Many thanks for your enquiry. All the information you need is on our web site.
Grace periods, follow this link and click on the Fines paragraph heading


Once an item is due you get the grace period of 7 days for a standard loan and 3 days for a 7 day loan. If you renew an item then the grace period applies to the new due date.

Fines are applied from:
day 8 standard loans 50p per item
ay 4 7 day loans 75p per item.
Overnight loan have no grace period and the fine is applied as soon as the book is overdue £1

The fine is per book not per day.

If a final year or post graduate student needs a book that is not stocked in the University library they may use the Document Supply services

If a first or second year student says they need an item from outside the library’s collection then they need to contact their academic liaison librarian as the library holds materials for every course taught at the University

I hope this answers all your queries. If not please ring
