updated:2020/5/11
FUN Media Library has closed due to COVID-19 since the beginning of March and most of the books to be loaned have not been returned since then.
More than 900 books are currently checked out and the numbers are increasing.
Under these circumstances the following concerns are appearing:
- Many books have been loaned for a long time and people who need it can’t borrow.
- Staff in Media Library work on leaving returned books in quarantine and wiping down surfaces with sanitizer. If these books being loaned now were returned in a short period of time, it would have been very difficult for the Library to provide normal services.
Therefore we request your cooperation to return the Library books by following measures below.
It will start from Monday 11, May taking necessary steps not to spread the virus.
There are two ways to return a book. Depending on your situation, choose (A) or (B).
(A) Go to the University and return a book
(B) Send a book to the Library
Media Library is continuing to loan a book if you need it
We appreciate your understanding and cooperation.
