Items must be returned on time to ensure everyone can access the materials they need. 24 hour returns are available at the return book drop box outside the University Library. Items can also be returned to any library on campus during opening hours.

If you are unable to return items on time, come in to any library and talk to us, contact us by email at [email protected], or by phone at 401-254-3375.

When an item is overdue, you cannot borrow or place a request, and your loans will no longer be automatically renewed. Return your overdue books to resume these activities.

Take a look at our Borrowing page to learn more about borrowing, renewals, and returns.

Sign-in to Library My Account and select Checkouts. The current due dates will be displayed next to the items you have checked out.

We get it - life happens! Chat with one of our friendly library staff members to discuss your options. This can be done in person, via email, phone or even on live chat. Choose whichever contact option works best for you.

Library loans that are twenty-eight days past the due date may be billed a lost fee of $25 plus the replacement cost of the item. This charge may be waived if the item is returned in good condition. Students may have their registration, grades, and/or transcripts held until the charges are resolved. Chat with one of our friendly library staff members to discuss your options.
