Your student card is also your Library card. You can get your student card from Student Services.
Only current students can use the Library.
Each semester, go to Student Services for a new semester sticker.
You can borrow up to 30 books at a time from our Main (non-fiction), CC Reads (fiction) and ESL collections.
You can borrow up to 2 textbooks and other reserve books at a time.
Use the table below to find out how long you can borrow items. You will have to pay a fee for overdue items. To avoid fines, you can renew non-reserve items.
| Item type | Loan period | Overdue charges | Maximum fines |
|---|---|---|---|
| Print books (non-reserve) | 3 weeks | $0.50/day | $25.00 |
| DVDs | 2 days | $2.00/day | $30.00 |
| Reserve books (textbooks - 3 hr loan) | 3 hours | $2.50/hour | * no maximum |
| Reserve books (1 day loan) | 1 day | $1.00/day | $25.00 |
Once maximum fines have been reached, you will be charged the replacement cost. Your account will be blocked if you have $25.00 or more in outstanding fines. Make sure to settle your library fines each semester, or you may be blocked from registering or graduating.
