Check-Out Procedures

To check out materials or to obtain items on reserve, present a valid Student Picture ID Card or MCCCD Library Card at the Circulation Desk. Student ID Cards are issued through GateWay Central and may be utilized in the Computer Commons, Learning Center, Library, and for other college functions. Your class schedule with a drivers license, or other picture ID, is required to prepare a Student ID Card. Community borrower cards are available to members of our local community, over 18, upon presentation of a valid state issued ID card/driver's license with a valid address.

Book Renewals

Phone renewals are encouraged. One renewal for books and other renewable material is allowed provided that no request has been made on the item(s). Call (602) 286-8454 to renew books by telephone or use the My Account feature within the Catalog to renew materials.

Overdues

Overdue notices are sent out as a courtesy reminder. Please return library materials by the due date, or renew them in person, online or by phone, prior to becoming overdue. Debts will be posted on all unreturned or damaged materials. The borrower is responsible for any materials checked out on their account.

Lost and Damaged Materials

Books and other materials that are NOT returned are declared lost after the courtesy period. These items along with damaged materials, will be billed at the list price, plus a five dollar nonrefundable handling fee, per item. Records and grades may be delayed until the bill is paid. All such debts to the college are reported to the state for collection management.
