The ID Card

Your student ID card is also your Library card. Your card is permanent - you don't need to apply for a new one each semester. Once you enroll at the college and obtain an ID card, you are always welcome to use our materials, even when you are not enrolled in classes. You must present your ID card when checking out materials.

Fines and Fees

We do not charge daily overdue fines for most items. If materials are kept past their due date, you may be billed for the replacement cost of the items. You will need to return the materials or pay the bill to clear the hold placed on your records in the Admissions & Records Office. Starting on February 7, 2011, we will charge $1/day fines for overdue 3-day reserve books. These fines will cumulate to a maximum of $50 and will not be refunded when the book is returned. An additional replacement fee will be charged if the book not returned.
