Ten (10) is the maximum number of books that can be checked out at a time. From our Loan Guidelines: 2.107.1.4 Students may have no more than 10 circulating items system-wide checked out at one time. Some libraries may limit the number of books that patrons may check out on a given subject. Overrides should occur at the discretion of the library.

Borrowing limits for temporary membersIf you’re a non-NSW resident with temporary membership your borrowing limit is 5 items. Toys are limited to 3 and inter-library loans are not available. If you’re a temporary library member and have homeless or refugee status – your borrowing limit is 5 items. Limits of up to 3 toys, 1 makerspace kit and 5 inter-library loans apply. How long can you have a library book checked out?Circulating books are the most common -- these books may leave the library and be checked out for up to three (3) weeks. They may also be renewed twice for three (3) weeks each, as long as no one else is waiting for the book. This means that, in total, a book could be checked out for up to nine (9) weeks.
How many times can you recheck out a book?No limit to the number of times that you can renew a book as long no one else requests it. DVDs, CDs, and other media items can be renewed twice. Prospector and Interlibrary Loan items may have other exceptions (see below).
Can you take books out of the library?Take your books to the circulation desk for check-out.
Most modern libraries will have two options: either take your books right to the desk for the librarian to check out, or take them to the nearby self-checkout machine.
How many books do you need to count as a library?To be classified as a library, a room should contain at least five hundred books. Based on their findings, every school with 500 or more students has between 10,001 and 15,000 books in common stock.
