However, if anyone wants to use these books inside the library, they are advised to fill in a prescribed form available at the counter and do so. They are expected to show these books at the counter staff when leaving the library. This is to avoid unnecessary confusion.

If the book is not returned in spite of our repeated reminders, the cost of the borrowed materials including the overdue charges will be automatically collected through salary/fees, after 30 days of grace period. Your valuable suggestions and feedback may be recorded at the register available at the circulation counters of both the libraries. We look forward in serving you in any way we can.
