How to Borrow
 
Borrowing is easy in the LRC. We use biometric technology with our automated issue system, which allows you to borrow using your thumb! This means that you do not need to remember to bring a card or journal, just your thumb. The system is completely secure as it does not keep a record of your thumbprint, but instead allocates a number to your thumb and this retrieves your record from the system. In fact, your borrowing records are even more secure as no one else can have access without your thumb!

So when you’re ready, bring your resources to the counter, and we’ll do the rest.

You can borrow up to 3 items for 2 weeks at a time, and you can renew items for longer periods if you need a little more time to finish your book.

Our reservation system allows you to request books that have already been borrowed by another pupil. So you don’t need to worry about missing the latest Harry Potter book!
