Renewals: Renewals may be requested online, by phone, or in person.

Recalls: The library may recall any item checked out to any borrower. Books may be subject to recall 3 weeks after check-out. Media materials may subject to recall 5 days after check-out. Material needed for course reserve is subject to immediate recall.

Overdue Items & University Accounts: The library may place a hold on a student record if library materials are more than four weeks overdue. Once a hold is placed on a student’s record, they cannot borrow library materials, register for classes, obtain a Stockton transcript, or receive their degree until the overdue material is returned.
