Circulation Policy

Circulation policy refers to the rules and guidelines that libraries or institutions use to manage the lending and return of their materials, such as books and media. It determines how long items can be borrowed, how many items a person can check out at once, and the process for renewing or returning items. These policies help ensure fair access for all users, keep materials in good condition, and manage inventory effectively. Essentially, circulation policy creates a structured way to share resources among members, balancing individual needs with the community’s ability to access materials.
