Assistance is given with term papers, factual information, leisure reading materials, and any other library-related activities. The collection consists of approximately seventeen thousand books, several sets of encyclopedia, two daily newspapers, Sunday Spanish edition of the newspapers, one Sunday edition of a national newspaper, current magazines, videotapes, online computer services, and electronic database. It is suggested that only three books be checked out at a time. In special situations, more than three books can be checked out. The librarians prefer not to circulate periodicals, reference books, or audio-visual materials to the students unless special circumstances deem it necessary.
All materials are to be checked out at the circulation desk.
A date due sticker is placed on the outside of the front book cover. The fine is calculated on the basis of ten cents per day. If the book is not returned until the fourth day, the computer automatically charges for the four days and the fine becomes forty cents, each day that the book is not returned, ten cents is added and a maximum fine of two dollars can be charged per book. Books are to be returned at the back of the circulation desk in the book drop. These materials may not be checked out.
