• Circulating audiotapes, videotapes, and/or CD’s may be borrowed for 10 days.

(Please note that the high cost of some of our materials prohibits us from making them available for loan. Feel free to ask our staff members for information about using these materials while at the Cancer Learning Center.)

Renewals

The due date of an item may be extended by visiting the Huntsman Cancer Learning Center or by calling us at 801-585-0605. If another patron has requested the material, it cannot be renewed and must be returned by its due date. Items in the Cancer Learning Center may be renewed only if no one else has requested them.

Overdue Materials

If items are not returned by their due date, you will not be able to borrow additional materials from the Cancer Learning Center until they have been returned. An overdue notice will be mailed to you within two weeks of the item's due date. If the item has not been returned after four weeks, you will be charged the replacement cost of the item plus a $5.00 processing fee.

Lost or Damaged Materials

You are responsible for all materials checked out in your name. Please return books and materials in the same condition in which they were received. If you lose an item you have checked out, or if the material becomes damaged while in your care, you will be assessed the cost of the material plus a $5.00 processing fee.
