The most prominent service we offer in the library is access to our collection which is noteworthy in breath, width, and accessibility. The collection is curriculum focused and selected by both our faculty and librarians. If we do not have what you need, feel free to submit a library purchase recommendation for consideration.

Borrowing

• How many books may I borrow at one time? How long can I keep a book?
  Up to 5 books can be checked out at any one time. Books are checked out for 2 weeks at a time. A book may be renewed unless another patron has placed a hold on it. Books may not be checked out over semester breaks unless you are registered for classes for the following semester.

A book that is 15 – 28 days overdue will have a $3.00 fine assessed. Books that are returned 29 or more days late are considered lost and will each incur a $5.00 overdue fine.

Fines and/or fees are paid at the Bursar’s Office.
