Circulation of Material Policies

Orange Divider Graphic Library Cards and Loan Periods
 

Barcoded Library Cards are needed by anyone checking materials out of the library or using Reserve material. Individuals associated with Albright College will be furnished with a library barcode on the reverse side of the college identification card that is issued by Safety and Security. Non-college patrons wishing to be issued a red library card should inquire at the circulation desk. Replacement ID cards are issued by Public Safety, while replacement red library cards are available at the circulations desk for a $5 fee.

There is a 6 week loan period for students and other patrons.  Faculty, administration and staff borrow for a 4 month period. Items may be renewed one time if not needed by another patron.  Please bring your library card and the material at the Circulation Desk to be renewed or use the online renewal form.
   
Orange Divider Graphic Suspension of Borrowing Privileges
  Patrons who do not abide by the library rules, including the timely return of borrowed materials, payment of lost materials, or who do not respect the library, its collections or its patrons, may have their borrowing privileges suspended.
