Books or articles owned by Liberty University and any materials ordered through Interlibrary Loan will be delivered.
When will these materials be delivered?
Delivery will begin at 3:00 PM each day. Materials requested and received by 10:00 AM on business days will be delivered that same day.
Is there a limit to the number of materials?
You are allowed to check out a total of 50 Liberty University-owned books at any one time. (This includes those delivered or picked up personally while in the library.) For articles and materials obtained through Interlibrary Loan, there is no limit at this time.
Where will these materials be delivered?
The materials will be delivered to each department's secretary. The worker who delivers the materials will have a list of each item. The secretary will sign for them and then assume responsibility for the materials.

There will be an email sent out to each faculty member notifying him/her of the pending delivery of materials to his/her secretary.
