Marvin M. Schwan Library Policies and Procedures

  • Patrons must have a valid Warrior OneCard or id card from a SWITCH library to checkout materials.
  • Patrons are responsible for all materials checked out in their name. Fines are applied to items not returned on time.
  • Patrons can view their library records at My Library Account.
  • Most library materials are loaned for 28 days with the option to renew them 2 more times for another 28 days. DVDs/CDs and interlibrary loans from other libraries have shorter loan periods and may not be renewable. Items on hold for another patron cannot be renewed.
  • Notebook computers, digital cameras & camcorders, and items from Reserves check out for overnight and cannot be renewed. A fine of $1 per hour is charged for these items if they are returned late.
  • Overdue notices are sent to a patron's e-mail address as a courtesy reminder and non-receipt of a notice does not exempt the patron from overdue penalties. Notices are sent twice before patron is billed $50 or more per item for replacement plus $10 non-refundable billing fee per item. If overdue items are returned 10 days or more after due date, the patron will still owe $10 per item for billing fees but the $50 replacement fee will be removed.
  • No tobacco products are allowed in the library building including the lower classroom level.
  • The upper floor of the library is a quiet place to study. Please be considerate of others and keep conversations to a minimum.
  • Library hours are posted at the library entrance and on the library's web page.
  • Computer access from desktops and personal computers is available throughout the library building via wireless or wired connections and all desktops and notebook/laptops have software used in classes such as Maple, SPSS, Inspiration, Dasher etc.
