How do I obtain a library card?
The identification (ID) card you received at registration acts as
your library card. Each semester during registration this ID card
is updated with a sticker. If you register by phone please remember to
have this validation sticker placed on the back of your card. You are
responsible for all material borrowed on your card. If your ID card is
lost or stolen report it and purchase a new card. Your ID must be
presented to check out material or use the library computers!
What is the procedure for checking out material?
Bring the items you wish to check out and your ID card to the main
(first floor) circulation desk.
If your fine record is clear and you have no overdue items, the
materials will be checked out to you. A date due slip attached to the
item will indicate when to return the material.
