Mostly the book should be returned within 4 weeks. But for the popular books, you have to bring them back within only one week. The last thing I must mention here is that you are not allowed to smoke in the library anywhere at anytime. And as to drinks, only bottled water is allowed to bring in. OK, now, its time to show you where everything is.
