Circulation

 

Circulation Desk:

The Circulation Desk is located directly inside the front doors of the Henrietta G. Lewis Library. This is where books and magazines are borrowed and returned. A second Check-Out Desk is available for you to check out and return media (videos, films, music recordings, etc.) and to borrow Reserve items. You may also return material in the Book Drop on the first floor of D-Building next to the entry stairs.

In addition to checking out and checking in material, the Circulation Staff will assist you in placing a "hold" on a book or video; help you use media, microforms, reserves, and periodicals.

Borrowing Material:

Borrowing material from the Henrietta G. Lewis Library is simple. All you need is your NCCC ID card. This card also entitles you to borrowing privileges at other State University of New York (SUNY) libraries.

I. D. cards are required for Niagara County Community College students, faculty, administrators, and staff to borrow material. Cards may be obtained at the Security Office located in G-Building. Also available are LAP(Library Access Project) cards which can be used to borrow items from local private colleges. LAP cards are available at the Reference/Information Desk. For those not employed by or attending NCCC, an Off-Campus Borrower card, which entitles you to borrow books and periodicals from NCCC only, may be completed at the Circulation Desk.
