Borrowing & Circulation

Library Borrowing Privileges

To check out materials from the library, you must present a photo ID at the Circulation Desk.  Non-students (Patrons) can borrow items by becoming  patrons of the library.  This process requires proof of Clatsop county residence or residence in Pacific or Wahkiakum counties in Washington.  A patron membership costs $5 for three months or $20 per year.  The library reserves the right to require photographic identification such as a Washington or Oregon Driver's license or ID card that shows a local residence.

If a long overdue book goes into "lost" status, the patron is required to pay for the replacement of the item.

 

All items renewed beyond the original checkout period are subject to being recalled for use by others.  Should this become necessary, a notice will be sent with the new due date(s).  The fine for not returning the recalled item(s) by the new return date is $1 per day per item.

Renew Items

Renew items online.  If you can't renew your item, you've most likely encountered one of the following conditions:

  • The renewals have been exceeded for that particular item
  • Someone else has a hold on that item
  • The item is overdue

User Responsibility

  • Please return materials on time and in good condition.  Users will be billed for the actual cost of non-returned materials, plus a processing charge of $25.00 per item.  NOTE: this replacement cost can potentially be considerably higher than the original purchase price if the item is out of print.
  • If you bring children to the library, please supervise them at all times.
  • No college facility or equipment may be used for commercial purposes.
  • Students, patrons and the general public must abide by the rules set forth in the Clatsop Community College Student Code of Conduct.
