CHECK OUT REQUIREMENTS
FINE POLICY OSU Library Fines Regular circulating items owned by the Bromfield Library and other OSU libraries accrue fines only if they have been requested by another patron (and recalled by the library) or have become long overdue.

FINE APPEAL
Library users are able to appeal the charges applied to their accounts. A response can be expected in approximately 5 business days. If a book in question was borrowed from the Columbus campus, questions can also be directed to the OSU Libraries Business Office (614) 292-2400.
Note: Patrons who want to replace a lost book must still fill out the Fine Appeal Form and include in the “Reason for Appeal” section that they would like to “replace the book and have any remaining fines waived.”
VISITING PATRON CHECKOUT Patrons from other OhioLINK or SearchOhio libraries and institutions, like the Mansfield-RIchland County Public Library, are eligible to check out materials* from the Bromfield Library. Patrons must show their home library cards or university IDs and supply any additional information if prompted (e.g. a pin number). Fines and renewals are handled by the patron's home library. Check out times correspond to OhioLINK loan periods. *excluding specialty equipment |
CIRCULATION SERVICES
The circulation desk, situated at the front of the library, is available to assist students, faculty, and staff with the following services:
SELF-SERVICE OPTIONS Access your library record to renew materials, check due dates, or pay fines. North Central State College students, add "NC" to the front of your student ID number when prompted for University ID: e.g. NC0012345. Add funds to your student ID using the BUCK ID website. For Ohio State students, adding funds to a student ID allows printing from any of OSU's pay-to-print stations in Riedl, Ovalwood, or Conard buildings. |
