Frequently Asked Questions

1. How long is the loan period for juvenile books?

The loan period is two weeks for all patron categories; renewals are possible if there are no holds.

2. The online catalog shows that the book I want is not charged, but it is not on the shelf. What do I do?

There are several reasons why a book is not on the shelf. Please report this to the Circulation Department so that they can search for it.

3. Why don't you get rid of the older books and replace them with new ones?

The materials in the Juvenile Book collection are used by different departments in different ways. For example, it would be impossible to follow trends in children's literature if the Sherrod Library did not have older, as well as newer, books.

4. Can I suggest a book for inclusion in the Juvenile Textbook room?

All faculty, administrators and students at ETSU are encouraged to participate in building the library's book collection. Forms are available at the Reference desk or online. Book purchases are contingent on the availability of funds.

5. May my children use the room?

Children are welcome in this room; however, young children should not be left alone in the room for their own safety.

6. What are the hours for the juvenile room?

The hours are the same as those posted for the main library.
