For library purposes, an Access Card is required to check out books and other library material. It is also required to use the print stations.

2) You can easily identify circulating magazines by their "circulating" sticker.
3) The loan period is seven-days (one week) on up to five at a time; no renewals are permitted.
4) Check-out is at the Circulation Desk.
As with all library materials, overdue fines and lost fees apply.
Lost items will be charged at their current price plus a $10 non-refundable processsing fee.
A student may opt to purchase the replacement copy on their own and pay only the processing fee.
Replacement copies purchased by the student must be the exact edition and format as the lost item.
