Borrowing:

RHS Library patrons can check out print materials at the Circulation Desk. Patrons may borrow up to 10 books for three weeks at a time, though we caution patrons to borrow only what they can manage to keep track of. Fines for lost or damaged books will be assessed as school financial obligations, which can affect a student's eligibility to participate in extra-curricular events or graduation.
