Circulation
The Circulation Desk issues library cards, circulates materials, and collects fines. Once you receive your library card, you will need to update it every semester. Members of the public may also check out ten books from our library. Students and staff of Bucks may check out 20 books from the library. For any questions about your library record, please call the Circulation Desk at (215) 968-8009.
Reserve Collection
Faculty members place items on reserve for their students to either view in the library, or check out for a few days at a time. If your instructor has placed an item on reserve that you need to view, come to the Circulation desk with your library card to check out the item. Items are shelved on the Reserve shelf by Course number. Please bring this information with you. The Library also houses the BACK course syllabi collection as a permanent reserve holding. Syllabi are received from the various departments as they are added or updated.
