The due date and time for a booked item is determined by the loan period. However, if a previous booking overlaps the loan period, Horizon may shorten the loan period.
For example, if the loan period is two hours and an item is checked out at 2:00 p.m., the due time is 4:00 p.m. However, if the next booking for the item is 3:30 p.m., then the due time of the earlier booking is 3:30 p.m.
If the chosen booking period extends beyond the library’s closing time, and the ITYPE allows keeping the material overnight, Horizon prompts borrowers to specify whether they want to keep the material overnight. If they choose to do so, the due date becomes the next time the library location opens, which may be over a weekend (or longer because of closed days).
