Summer Borrowing 2012

(by jsteel on Flickr. Creative Commons)

The Academic Year 2011-2012 ends around 22nd June for most classes at Newcastle College.

This means any Students who are returning next year and want to borrow books over the Summer need to let us know at the Library, or else you'll be prevented from taking anything out until the new Academic Year starts.

All you need to do is fill out this form (copies are also available at our branches), get your Tutor/School Office staff to countersign the bottom section, then return it to us at Main Library.

Once that's done, you'll be able to take out library items until mid-September, without having to renew again all Summer long.
