Bring this card to the Circulation Desk and complete a registration form. Your alumni card will serve as your library card once you are registered by Circulation.  Alumni/ae are granted free borrowing privileges for one year.  Borrowing privileges are automatically renewable if the account is free of fines, overdue books, or other account issues. Borrowers are responsible for all items charged on their accounts. Reference and periodical items do not circulate.

Alumni borrowers are subject to overdue fines of 10 cents a day. The maximum overdue fine per item is $10.00. Overdue notices are sent as a courtesy, due date slips are placed in each book at check-out. Items overdue for 40 35 days are automatically assumed to be lost and a per item replacement charge is placed against on the borrower's library account. Replacement fee is $75 $100.00 per book. Assumed lost items must be brought to the Circulation Desk for discharging. Once an assumed lost book is returned, the $75 $100.00 fee per item is reduced to a lesser amount. If the library has purchased a replacement copy, the $75 $100.00 fee is not reduced. Fines over $20 will result in loss of borrowing privileges until the fine has been paid.

Suspension of Borrowing Privileges

When an item becomes assumed lost all library borrowing privileges are automatically suspended until either the book has been returned or the replacement fee and all fines and fees are paid.
