How do I get a library card?
Your photo ID is your library card.
To check out books, please present a physical ID card, such as your student ID or drivers license. (Your Costco card works too!)
For concerns about privacy, please refer to our Patron Privacy Policy.
You don't have the book I'm looking for--can I make a request?
Our library has a lending agreement with other libraries nationwide, so if something is not on our shelves, we can often borrow a copy from somewhere else.
Request an Interlibrary LoanWhat if I lose or damage a book?
Patrons are expected to be responsible for materials that they have borrowed.
Natural wear and tear happens over time, but please do not tear, stain, crease, highlight, or otherwise degrade the condition of library materials. In case of an accident, do not attempt to repair the damaged item yourself, but bring it to library staff so that we may evaluate it for repair or replacement.
A replacement fee will be charged for lost items, which is refundable if the item is found and returned in good condition.
Why do I have a library fine, and what do I do about it?
We do not assign late fees for overdue items, just replacement fees for lost or damaged materials.
Library fines show up on your student records, but they will not keep you from registering for classes--they only limit your ability to borrow more items from the library. These can be paid in the Cashier's Office on the first floor of Wenatchi Hall.
Once an item is returned in good condition--or replaced--the entire fine will be removed, and your borrowing privileges will be restored.
