It depends what you mean by due.....

So December 20 is the official due date. What does that really mean?

First, if you are still using any semester-loan books, scores, or government publications to complete your finals -- just keep them and return them when you are finished. Unless it is an item that gets fined (OhioLINKs, reserves, recalled materials), there is no penalty for returning these books a couple of days late.

Our semester-loan policy for most books, scores, and government publications requires us to pick A DAY for all of these materials to be due. As of last Wednesday, there were more than 11,000 items checked out to students from the Main Library alone. We really don't want them all returned to us today!! We hope some of them come back early, and you've been great about returning books as you finished with them. And we're happy to accept the rest of them any day this week. Return early and often. Check out our library hours to know when we're open.

If you plan to keep books for next semester, please renew them. We will place holds for spring enrollment in January for anything remaining overdue.
