NOT PUBLISHED

Welcome to the William Madison Randall Library

Faculty/staff spouses may be issued a Borrower's Card without charge by visiting the Circulation Desk to get registered for the card.

How to borrow materials

When borrowing materials, please observe these regulations:

Present the Randall Library Borrower's Card for each transaction.
Borrowing privileges are not transferable, with one exception. High school students enrolled in grades 9-12 may be added as an authorized user to an adult parent's or guardian's borrower's card. By sponsoring their child, the parent or guardian assumes responsibility for the return of all materials and the payment of any charges assessed for damage or overdues. To check out materials, the high school student should present their parent's or guardian's borrower card and their high school identification card or driver's license at the Randall Library Circulation Desk.
Borrowers are responsible for materials borrowed until they are returned to the Library and lost or damaged material must be paid for.
There is no limit on the number of books that may be checked out from the General Collection. Items from the Featured new books, Videos, Music and Audiobooks collections are limited to 7 items checked out at any one time, in any combination (for example 4 videos, 3 music CDs).
