HOURS OF OPENING, GENERAL LIBRARY

the examination periods the closing time is midnight. During the Summer

are 2:00 to 4:00 P. M. During vacations the open hours on week days are from
9:00 A. M. to 1:00 P. M. The General Library is closed on New Year's Day,

LOAN OF BOOKS, GENERAL LIBRARY
All books may be used within the reading rooms.
Books may be borrowed for use outside of the General Library by (1) members
of the University; (2) former officers and professors who are residing at
the University; and (3) card holders. Cards are issued to residents of Charlottesville
and vicinity and to visitors to the University who are introduced in
writing by a member of the faculty who is of professorial rank and who is not
a member of the library staff.
Loans outside of Charlottesville or vicinity may also be made by inter-library
loan through a local library or by arrangement with the Extension Division of
the University.
Reference books, rare books (including genealogical works), and current
numbers of magazines are not loaned out of the general library. Certain rare
editions which are desired for reading in connection with university courses may
be loaned on receipt of written request from the Professor in charge of the
course.
Books reserved for collateral reading may be borrowed for over night use
one-half hour before the closing of the library. Reserved books are not to be
removed from the reading room at other times unless written permission has
been granted by the Professor for whom the books have been reserved. The
rules for checking of reserved books are as follows:
1. Each reserved book must be checked out in the name of the person who
has it.
2. A reserved book must be checked in at the desk when, for whatever
reason, the person who has it leaves the library.
3. Reserved books which are to be taken out for overnight use must be
checked out at the desk at ten o'clock or shortly thereafter, the due date to be
written both on the card and in the back of the book.
During vacations between terms students may borrow books up to the number
of five by leaving a money deposit with the circulation librarians.
Books borrowed by members of the faculty of professorial rank or by instructors
who are not taking graduate courses are subject to return on request by
the librarians; all such loans should be returned before the first of June of each
year, and records previous to that date should be cleared before further borrowing
of books.
Books borrowed by registered graduate students, candidates for final honors,
hospital internes, and qualified non-student employees of the University are
loaned for the current term, on the understanding that they may be recalled
when needed by other readers. The records of each term should be cleared before
borrowing is resumed on the following term.
All other loans are for periods of two weeks or less, the date of return being
indicated on the slip within the back cover of the book. The borrower should
examine this date in each case, since at the end of each term the period of loan
is shortened and during the summer quarter the regular period is one week.
All except professorial loans are subject to fines of ten cents a day for late
reserved books there is a fine of ten cents an hour but not to exceed twenty-five
cents for the first day, and fines of twenty-five cents a day for each succeeding
day or part of day. A fine of twenty-five cents is imposed for each violation of
the rules for checking out of reserved books. The maximum fines are three dollars
for an ordinary loan and five dollars for the loan of a reserved book. Further
accumulation of fines ceases as soon as the loss of a book is reported.
If any fines remain unpaid for fifteen days after the date on which they are
due, the Librarian shall, by resolution of the Rector and Visitors, notify the Dean
of the Department in which the student is entered, and such student shall by him
be required to cease his privileges as a student until the library account has been
satisfactorily settled. Credits are withheld, further registration is not permitted,
and no degrees are conferred until such accounts have been cleared.
