Knox College Library

Circulation Policies

All library materials are borrowed and returned at the Circulation desk. There is a Circulation desk at all three libraries: Seymour Library (main library), Science & Math Center Library, and the Center for Fine Arts Music Library. Patrons must present a valid Knox College ID card to check out materials. Guests may use materials within the library and may inquire at the circulation desk about applying for a guest card.

Renewals

Library materials may be renewed once online via the My Account page in the Knox Library Catalog, or by telephone. (Instructions for logging on to your library account.)

Please bring materials to the library for subsequent renewals. Renewals are unlimited.

Interlibrary Loans may be renewed through our interlibrary loan system.

Returning Materials

All materials should be returned to the Circulation desk where the item was originally checked out.

If the library is closed, materials may be deposited in the bookdrop behind Seymour Library, or through the front door of the Science & Math Center Library. Materials should not be placed in the bookdrop during hours the library is open.

Reserves, because of their time-sensitive nature, should be returned in person to the Circulation desk of the respective library, unless the library is closed.
