Community Borrowers
The Mack Library and the Music Library are open to the public. Special permission or appointments are not necessary. Library cards (with $5 processing fee) are issued to individuals 18 years or older living within 50 miles of campus. Please present government issued photo ID. Community customers may borrow most library materials.
Book Drops
Items are retrieved from the book drops when the library opens. Reserve items may not be returned through the book drops. Any customer who returns a Reserve book through a book drop is responsible for the hourly overdue fines accrued before it is retrieved from the book drop. We do backdate to the last time the library was open any items that are checked in during opening shift book drop retrieval.
Lost Items
If an item is lost, notify the Circulation Supervisor immediately. If the item is not found in your possession or in the Library, a bill will be sent which includes the price of the item + a $5 processing fee. Please pay promptly when you receive the bill. If you or the Library finds the item within a year, you will receive a refund for the price of the item.
