Library Loan Periods Extended

Longer Loan Periods for most non-equipment materials at EWU Library!

Loan periods for most EWU collection and Summit materials* have been extended!

Most loans have been extended from 6 weeks to 12 weeks, enabling longer use of EWU library and Summit collection materials, including videos and DVDs.

Loan periods for equipment checkout are not extended. For information on equipment checkout, please visit this webpage.

*Faculty, if you wish to use a video/DVD in a course, we suggest you request the item be placed in Course Reserves at the beginning of the academic term.
