Q. I want to check out a book but it is listed as 2-hour reserve. What does that mean?

Reserves are items put aside by instructors for a class. They are located behind the Circulation desk on Haggard 2. Any Western student can check them out, but two-hour reserves can only be checked out for a two-hour period.*

* The exception to this is during summer quarters when the library is operating under reduced hours. To accommodate this reduction in hours, it is possible to borrow 2-hour reserve items overnight if they are checked out during the two-hour period directly proceeding the time that the library closes.
