Published: 27 August 2020

The Library has automatically renewed all checked-out items that were originally due between March 1, 2020 and January 3, 2021. The new due date for these materials will be January 4, 2021. After January 4, checked-out items will automatically be renewed unless the user account has expired or if a hold is placed on the item.

If you are currently in Montreal, you may hold onto the book or return it in the returns bin on the street level at the McLennan Library Building. If you have left Montreal, you may hold onto the books or mail the books back to the McLennan-Redpath Library Complex (3459 McTavish Street Montreal, Quebec H3A 0C9). No fines will be accrued during the closure. Please note, returned items will appear on your account until staff can discharge the material.
