You must be logged in to borrow books.
To borrow a book enter the book barcode in the available box. The barcode is always located inside the front cover of the book, on the bottom right-hand corner and always starts with the letter R.
Once you have entered the barcode of the book or books you wish to borrow, click finish and the books will be added to your account.
