Overdue notices are sent to patrons as a courtesy. The library does not assume responsibility for fines resulting from un-received or un-read mail or email.
Bates patrons are notified via e-mail. Patrons affiliated with Bates College are responsible for informing the College of address changes. Contact the Human Resources Department.
Bates patrons must assure that email from bates.edu addresses is not diverted to spam quarantine files. Notices about library material are sent to the Bates email addresses of students, faculty, and staff, so you must read Bates e-mail often or set your Bates e-mail to forward to an e-mail account that you read regularly.
Courtesy card holders, alumni, and affiliates may receive the notices via U.S. mail. Borrowers must report changes in e-mail and postal address at the Circulation Desk or via e-mail to circadm@ladd.bates.edu.
