RENEWALS & RECALLS 
General Collection Books and other library items can generally be renewed, provided no one else has placed a hold or recall on the item.

Library items can be renewed online via ROBCAT with your RMU Freedom Card Number or by contacting Library Circulation via phone or email.

PAYING OVERDUE FINES
Library fines are payable at the Library Circulation Desk. If library fines remain unpaid until the end of the semester, your student record may be blocked, which will restrict you from registering for classes. 

If you suspect you have lost a book or other library item, contact Library Circulation as soon as possible.
