How Do I Borrow Books?

Some books and other items can be taken out of the library. Others, such as encyclopedias and dictionaries, cannot be borrowed. These are located in the Reference section of the library and are marked REF. The circulation desk near the entrance is staffed by people who will let you know if the book can be signed out or not.

If you want to borrow a book, you can charge it out at the circulation counter using your student ID Card. Most books can be loaned for two weeks and can be renewed online by using

My Library Account

Remember: loan periods can vary from library to library. See below:

If you do not return library books or renew them within the time alloted, you will have to pay a fine. If fines reach $5.00 or more, your library account will be blocked. Please see
