Returning & Renewing Materials

Returning Materials

During Library hours, items may be returned to the Circulation Desk or the book drop on the ground level of Lefavour Hall across from the restrooms.

Please note that after 8:30pm, a current Simmons ID is required to access the building and return items.

Renewing Materials

Items can be renewed through the Library Catalog. Use your Simmons College webmail username and password to log in.

Overdue Notices, Fines, and Fees

The Library will send reminder notices of any overdue items. When an item is 45 days overdue, an additional replacement charge will be billed to your account. These charges will be cleared once the item has been returned. Outstanding charges on a library account may affect your ability to register for classes, graduate, or obtain copies of transcripts.

Please contact us with any questions.

Reserve Materials

Overdue reserve items incur a fine of .25 per hour.

Interlibrary Loan Materials

Shortly before its due date, you will receive a courtesy notice reminding you that your Interlibrary Loan item is due soon. At that time you may either return the item or login to your Interlibrary Loan account and request a renewal. Renewal requests cannot be processed on or after the item’s due date.

After 30 days, you will be billed for the item. Please note that lending libraries’ replacement fees are usually $80 at a minimum. Unpaid Interlibrary Loan fees may affect your ability to register for classes, graduate, or obtain copies of your transcript.
