How Short is Short Term Loan?

When it is two hours or less to closing time these two-hour loan items can be signed out until the next open day. They are due at 9:45 a.m. when the next open day is a weekday or 12:15 p.m. when it is a Saturday.
Some items circulate for other periods such as 5 days or 7 days.
