Only your personal materials and materials that you have checked out from a library should be left in a carrel. Non-circulating library materials or materials not checked out may not be left in the locker.
Library staff reserves the right to monitor lockers regularly and will remove materials not checked out or that are non-circulating. Abuse of these library policies may result in loss of carrel/locker privilege.
All materials in lockers will be removed at the end of every Spring semester, if the locker is not renewed for the following summer session.
