Checking out Materials
Most books, videos and software in the general collection can be checked out and brought home with you for free.
- Videos and audiotapes can be checked out for one week.
- Most books can be checked out for three weeks.
The only books that cannot be checked out have the letters REF on the label on the side or front of the book. REF means the book is a Reference book and can only be used in the Library. Some items in the CCIC (College and Career Information Center) may also be in-Library use only.
You need a C.O.D. Library Card to check things out of the library. You can get a Library card at the Circulation Desk located near the entrance to the Library.
