Check Out

Your library privileges are for you alone and library materials can only be checked out by you with a valid photo ID, student ID, or library card. Users may designate another person(s) as their proxy, who may check out library materials in their name. Any fines or lost items are the sole responsibility of the person who requests the proxy, and not the designated proxy. Contact the front desk for more information.
