Why the loan period of the book I borrowed gets shortened?
If the item you have borrowed is requested by another borrower, you will receive an email notice requesting you to return the book in 14 days or by the due date, whichever comes earlier. As the due date may change and may be different from the date stamped on the due date slip at the back of the book, please do check your HKMU email box regularly for all library notices and your Borrower Record to find out the updated due date to avoid overdue fines. Be a smart library user, please stay tuned with the library notices!
