Returning materials
The U. Grant Miller Library agrees to return any borrowed items to the University of Pittsburgh as a service for our patrons with the understanding that our patrons will return the borrowed items to the U. Grant Miller Library 2-3 days before the items are due. This will give the U. Grant Miller Library sufficient time to process the items back to the University of Pittsburgh without overdue fines accruing for our patrons. Charges for overdue or lost items are the responsibility of the patron.
