Borrowing

Your UB Card serves as your library card. Current UB students, faculty and staff may use their cards to check out books and other materials at any campus library.

Overdue Fines

Fine policies have been updated due to COVID-19

UB Libraries overdue fines are assessed to encourage the prompt return of high-demand library materials. All days and hours are counted for the purpose of determining overdue fines whether the library is open or closed.


Overdue/Fine Notices

  • As a courtesy, patrons will be sent an email reminder of the due date for circulating materials 10 days before an item is due.
  • Additional email reminders are sent on the day materials are due, 10 days overdue, and 20 days overdue.
  • At 30 days past the due date, materials are considered lost.
  • Notices of library fines are sent to UB students, faculty and staff via UBIT email accounts.
  • Use My Account to view all library fines.
  • Questions about fines, fees or renewals? Please email: libdelivery@buffalo.edu
