Library Closed Days Over Easter and Book Loans

Dear students,

The Library closes this evening Thursday 5 April at 23:00 hours and will re-open on Wednesday 11 April at 08:00.

If you have books which you need to return, then please make sure that you bring them back to the Library before closing time tonight. The out of hours book return book will be closed until Wednesday 11 April.

If you have 7 day loan books, then please make sure you renew them each week online via My Library Record on the Library Catalogue. Fines will accrue on overdue books so it is important to regularly check your Aston University email and renew your books as required.

Please note that books cannot be renewed if:

• you have fines of over £15
• you have already renewed them 18 times
• a book has been recalled by another library user.

These books will need to be posted back or returned in person to the Library during opening hours. See further information about returning books on the Library web site.

We wish you all a very good break.
