Borrowing Items
Students, staff, and faculty must present a current Aquinas College ID to check out Library material. Alumni and community members may obtain a library account with a current, state-issued ID.
Renewing Items
Most items can be renewed online, by phone (616.632.2137), or in person.
InterLibrary Loan (ILL) items may only be renewed by the ILL Coordinator at ill@aquinas.edu or 632-2128.
Overdue and Lost Items
Items not returned by their due dates are considered overdue. An overdue notice will be sent two weeks after the due date. After 30 days the cost of the item is billed to the borrower. For students, bills for unreturned library items will be sent to student accounts.
Bills for lost or damaged materials must be paid at the Student Accounts Office in HH 131.
