Toy Kit Policies

- Toy Kits can be borrowed for up to two weeks
- There are no renewals on Toy Kits.
- Toy Kits must be returned to the Circulation Desk at the Engineering & Computer Science Library during opening hours.
Because we know life happens, there are no late fines if you aren't able to return the Toy Kit on time, although we do ask that you return the kit as promptly as possible so another child can enjoy it. If you are returning a Toy Kit late, or there is a missing or damaged item, please let the staff know when you drop it off so we can get it ready for the next borrower. Please note: if more than one item is missing upon return, there will be a replacement charge of up to $40.
