Borrowing

Students, staff, faculty and community borrowers may check out library materials with proper ID. For students, staff, and faculty your library card is your student or employee ID card. For other borrowers, an official ID is required.

Your GRCC photo ID card is your library card.

You must have it with you in order to check out books and other materials from Holman Library.

The library will make a GRCC ID card for you at the library circulation desk. Bring a photo ID and something showing your student ID number (such as your temporary paper ID or your schedule).

Your first card is free; the replacement cost is $10.00.

Community members who want to check out books will need to pay $5.00 for a Community Member ID card.

Please purchase the community borrower's card at the Paper Tree bookstore. If you have any questions, please call the bookstore at (253) 931-3961 or (253) 833-9111, Ext. 2069. This card never expires as long as you don't lose it and you return library materials properly.
