At the Management & Social Science Library, Central Farm Library and the Engineering Resource Center, all school bags are to be placed on the appropriate shelves upon entering the library. This is to prevent students from placing library material in their school bags by mistake or, in certain instances, to prevent stealing.
Patrons are asked to fill out a declaration form at the Circulation Desk. The University of Belize accepts no responsibility for the loss of or damage to an article and encourages library patrons to remove all valuables from their schoolbags.
At the Central Campus Library, Toledo Campus Library school bags are allowed in. However, if students need to proceed to the shelf/book area, the school bags need to be left behind the Circulation Desk.

Food and beverages are not allowed in the Library and must be left with your schoolbags, behind the Circulation Desk.

The due date for borrowed books is stamped on the circulation slip in the back or front of the book. Current UB faculty, students and employees may renew books in person and must present books when renewing.
If a book is being recalled
(because it is needed by another borrower) it may not be renewed. It must
be returned to the Library at once.
Back to FAQ
Books must be returned or renewed
by the date stamped on the book.
A fine of $0.25 per day (including Saturdays, Sundays and holidays) is charged for any overdue library book.
Students who, after receiving due notice from the Library Staff, have failed to return books by the end of the semester, will neither receive reports nor be able to register for the following semester. In addition on occasion when the individual is unable to present the Library book, they will be required to pay the fee of the item to levy the cost.
Please avoid problems by either
returning or renewing books on time!
