Patrons receive Blackwell Library circulation notices via e-mail: Circulation notices

for being aware of library policies and procedures, monitoring when items they borrow are
due back to the library, and reading e-mail messages on a regular basis. Notices are
delivered as a courtesy only. Failure to receive an email does not release patron from his or her responsibility to return items on time and pay all accrued fines.
