The Library loans out a variety of items to facilitate learning and increase the accessibility of computer stations and work spaces. 

You'll need your UNF ID card to borrow items from the Library.

Some items can be placed on hold to ensure they're available when you need them. To place a hold, search for the item you want in the Library's Discovery Service. Once you find the item, click it, then click "Place Hold." You'll be required to sign in - use your UNF email and password.

Our Library is fine-free. That means there are no late fees charged if equipment is returned past the due date. However, we ask that users are courteous to their peers and return items on time. A replacement cost will be charged for items not returned.

Users are responsible for any items borrowed for as long as it is checked-out under their name. A replacement cost will be charged for any damaged or lost items.

Learn more about your responsibilities as a borrower in our Circulation Procedure.
