The Circulation Department

Whether you are a first time library user, or a seasoned professional, the Circulation Desk is where it all begins.  Located just inside the main library doors, Circulation is where you will come to check books in and out, pick up items you've placed on hold, and find course reserve materials.  If you have trouble printing, need to make copies, or want a private study room you are in the right place.  Read through this guide for more information about our policies and services and please contact us with any questions you might have.  Hope to see you soon!
