New 4-week Loan Period for Consumer Health Books

We’ve changed our policies on check-out loan periods : Consumer health and patient education materials (The Red-Dot books) are now routinely checked out for 4 weeks, instead of 2 weeks as in the past.

Although we’ve always been flexible with loan periods, this automatic 4 weeks allows our patrons more time to finish a book, and get it back to us on time without incurring an overdue notice.

The 4-week loan period is also comparable to Public Library check-outs. This is what our public patrons expect, so we feel good about anticipating their needs in this respect.

Please Note : Professional clinical and nursing books, BLS books, and other library materials still retain a loan period of 2 weeks.

Consumer Health and Patient Education collections are available at the following locations :

MMC Library (Oshkosh)
STE Resource Café (Appleton)
Affinity Health & Wellness Resource Center, 20th Ave YMCA (Oshkosh)
