Renewing Books

You can renew your loans in one of the following ways:

  • Use the ‘View and renew your loans’ option on the library catalogue (you will need your library barcode number and PIN)view and renew your loans
  • Bring your card or books to the library, please see the opening hours above.
  • Telephone theLibrary on 020 8746 8107
  • E-mail the Library at librarycw@imperial.ac.uk

If your record has been blocked due to very overdue items or outstanding fines, the option to renew using the catalogue is not available. You will need to renew your loans in person

Fines

Fines are charged on overdue medical videos and items recalled for other users.

Borrowers with outstanding fines of more than £4.00 will have their library record blocked and borrowing privileges revoked until the items are returned and the outstanding payment made in full.

Fines on items reserved by other readers are applied from the day after the overdue notice is sent. All copies are recalled, and when the hold has been satisfied, the fine will stop accruing, otherwise it will increase at weekly intervals until the book is returned.

Our Borrowing information has further details about library notices

Short loans If recalled - £2.00 flat charge per week (after 1 day’s grace) to a maximum of £10.00 per item
Standard loans If recalled - £2.00 flat charge per week (after 1 day’s grace) to a maximum of £10.00 per item
Videos (medical) 50p per day (after 10 minute’s grace) to a maximum of £5.00 per item
