What is a recall?

A recall is when we ask you to bring a book or item back so that we can provide it to another user who has reserved it. This often happens during exams. When a book is recalled we send you an email to let you know.

 

Can a recall happen at anytime? 

Your item can't be recalled until you've had it for 14 days. After that, an item can be recalled at anytime. 

 

How long will I have to return an item after it's been recalled? 

You will have 14 days from when the recall email was sent. 

 

What happens if I don't bring an item back within those 14 days?

You will be charged £2 a day for every day the item is overdue.
