The learner library lets you find resources and manage your own borrowing — no need to email the librarian.
Find and reserve a resource
- Open Library in your portal sidebar.
- Type a title or author in the search box.
- Each result shows whether copies are available now. Press Reserve to borrow it, or to join the waiting list if all copies are out.
When you reserve an available copy — or reach the front of the waiting list — it’s held for you to collect at the desk.
Manage your loans
Open My loans (the button at the top-right of the Library page) to see three sections:
- Borrowed — what you have out and when it’s due. Overdue items are flagged in red. Press Renew to extend a loan (unless someone else is waiting for it or you’ve hit the renewal limit).
- Reservations — your active holds, with your queue position or a Ready for collection flag.
- Fines — any outstanding overdue, lost, or damaged fees.
Tips
- Renew early — you can’t renew once another learner reserves the same title.
- Collect Ready reservations promptly; uncollected holds are released after the collection window.
- Clear outstanding fines — they can block new loans.
