Vision

1. When a user has identified a book form the open shelves section, and wishes to borrow it, she/he presents the book/item, to the responsible person at the issue desk, who shall issue out the book/item according to the laid out procedures.
2. There are categories of readers whose membership does not entitle them to borrow as indicated in the rules and regulations on borrowing
3. Borrowing is done under the names of the person fully registered with the library and is not interchangeable.
4. A borrower remains responsible for any library resource under his/her record as long as the borrowing remains un-cancelled

All items on open shelves can be borrowed and used both within and outside the library facilities

Items in closed sections of the Library are issued under specific conditions and are strictly used within the Library facilities for a period allocated at the time of issuing.

Library items are issued on first come first serve basis

Provided the item is not reserved by any other reader a loan can be renewed but not for more than two consecutive times.
