Vacation Loans

Vacation loans are now in place across the Bodleian Libraries. Books checked out will not need to be returned until Tuesday 21st January. You may return your book before that time if you wish.

Please note that this does not apply to self-collect books, which will need to renewed every seven days as normal.

We hope you have a lovely break and enjoy the holiday season!
