You, the Borrower, are responsible for all items checked out on your NWACC Library account. If you check out items for other people, you will be charged the fines, and replacement costs, if the items are not returned.
Library fines exist only to encourage timely return of library materials and are only applied to equipment. Although our fines are modest they can add up if you have several items overdue or not returned. You will be held accountable for materials that are not returned and will be billed on your college account accordingly.
You must be enrolled in the current semester, or a current NWACC faculty or staff member, in order to have borrowing privileges at NWACC Library.
You must also present an NWACC ID card, or alternate form of legal photo id, at the time of check out to borrow an item from the library.
Loan periods vary by item type and are listed below. For more information on borrowing library equipment, please visit the multimedia guide.

If you are an Adult Education Center student you must have an NWACC ID card and a signed Adult Education Library Card Application form (an Adult Education faculty or staff member must sign the form verifying you are a current Adult Education Student) on file with the library each semester. If you do not have an NWACC ID you will need to provide another form of photo ID to borrow materials. Adult Education students may only check out books and media for 2 weeks, no equipment, and no more than 10 items at once. No renewals.
