Wabash Photo ID card

You must present your ID card when checking out materials. The card also has a magnetic strip on the back for adding value in order to use the library photocopy machine.  There is no charge to replace a lost or damaged ID card.  You may obtain a replacement ID card through Information Technology Services in Baxter Hall room 29.  Please call Jamie Ross (x6302) to make an appointment. 

Loan Periods

Group Study Rooms

The library has four group study rooms.  Keys are checked out at the Circulation Desk on a first-come, first-served basis for up to four hours.  Although classes may reserve a room in advance, individuals may not reserve a room in advance. Some of these study rooms have video viewing capabilities.

Fines for Reserves and Study Room Keys 

The Circulation Desk provides access to reserve materials (items set aside by instructors for students to read for their class).  Because these reserve materials are high demand items, to ensure fair access for all students in a class those who do not return reserves face stiff fines.  The same fines apply to study room keys:

Within the first hour:

Unpaid fines are forwarded to the College Business Office each semester and will appear on bills issued by that office. Overdue material has to be RETURNED; it can't be renewed, although it can be checked out again.

Lost/Damage Materials Charges

We do not charge daily fines for general collection materials (books, government documents, and media.)  You will receive notices through the campus mail that you need to return overdue material or renew them. If you ignore the first 3 notices, a $5.00 fine is assessed when the fourth overdue notice is sent, and a $55.00 replacement fee is added to your account for each item until the fee is paid or the material is returned.  If you damage or lose library materials, you will be asked to pay the repair or replacement cost.
