If you are a Mass resident and want to get a Library card where do you send them? -Jackie

If they need to get a card because they are not affiliated with UMass they need to go to the LC Desk.

Where do you go if you want to take books but do not have a card to do this? I sent them to the LC Desk? -Jackie

You were right to send them to the LC Desk on the Lower Level. If the person normally has a card but does not have one on them they can check items out at the LC Desk once a semester with a picture ID. They must have a picture ID. If they need to get a card because they are not affiliated with UMass they also need to go to the LC Desk.

How do non-students check out books?

Because UMass is a state institution any person who lives in the state of Massachusetts is eligible for a state borrowers card. Another way someone can get a card is if they are not a Massachusetts resident but are attending a school in Massachusetts. If anyone comes to the desk wanting to check out materials but is not affiliated with UMass just send them to the LC Desk on the Lower Level, they can explain the process and are the people who issue the Library cards.
