The book I need is checked out! Can
I place a hold on it?
Any patron can put a hold on a circulating book that is
currently checked out. Holds may be placed
in person at the Library Circulation Desk. A book with a hold placed on it cannot be renewed. Holds cannot be placed on books on Reserve. When the book you place on hold is available, you will be notified. The book will be held at the Circulation Desk for five days.
Do I Have to Pay Fines on an Overdue
Item?
Yes. Overdue items accrue fines. Overdue notices are sent via email to patrons' official CMSV email accounts. Outstanding fines will prevent students from registering, graduating or receiving transcripts.

replaces a lost book with new copy of the same book, the

charge.
