Heterick for Faculty and Staff

Library Card

Your faculty/staff ID serves as your library card. IDs are non-transferrable; only you can check out items using your card. You are welcome to check out items for others (e.g. a picture book for your child), but all items you check out on your account are ultimately your responsibility.

If you have family members who would like to use the library on their own, they may apply for a community user card at the Information Desk on the first floor.
