After the two weeks elapse, the item could be renewed for another two weeks if a request for the item has not been placed. After this, the borrower shall be barred from renewing the same item again
- Clients categorized as other may borrow a maximum of five (5) books/items at a time. Clients could borrow the item if only it is available.
