Library Notices

The Academy Library sends notifications to borrowers via email.
These notifications include information about:

  • the availability of requested materials;

  • as well as courtesy messages about approaching due dates.

Notices about loans, recalls, requests and fines are sent to your University email address, or the email address you provided when applying for a card.

Library notices are a courtesy. You are responsible for returning or renewing loans on time, regardless of receipt of library notices. Check your myLibrary account regularly to keep track of your loans, holds and any recalls.
