Most items that are checked out may be requested once the original patron has had the item for two weeks. However, items that are checked out to Daytona Beach faculty or staff or any Worldwide patrons are not eligible to request. Daytona Beach faculty and staff check out materials for extended periods, and return dates for items checked out to Worldwide patrons vary widely because a timely return cannot be guaranteed. Therefore, those materials are not eligible to be requested.
If there is a question as to what items are eligible for a recall, please contact the Access Services Department at 386-226-6592 for clarification.
Fines for overdue recalled items accrue at $2.50 per item per day and cap at $50.00. Library privileges will be suspended for patrons with more than one overdue recalled item.
