Borrowing and Returning Library Materials

Library Cards
A student ID from any Lamar campus may be used to check out books and other library items from libraries on any Lamar campus. LSC-O students may use the Orange Public Library and Orange Public Library patrons may use the LSC-O library. Orange Public Library patrons need to present current library cards at the check-out desk. Students and other borrowers are responsible for all materials borrowed with their ID cards. Lost student ID cards should be reported to the library and the registrar.

Loan Periods and Fines
The loan period is 21 days for circulating books and two days for videos and other media. Renewals are permitted unless another individual has placed a hold on the item. Fines are 25 cents per day per item for books and $1 per day per item for reserve items and videos. Special items may have special fine rates. Fines are official college debts and must be paid before additional library materials may be borrowed. Transcripts will be held and future registration processes blocked until all obligations have been fulfilled. Return materials promptly. Pay all fines promptly at the cashier's office on the 3rd floor of the library building. Bring a copy of the receipt to the check-out desk in the library.

Returning Materials
Books and other library items may be returned in the book drop located outside the library building at the 2nd Street parking lot or at the check-out desk near the library entrance.
