Borrower Cards for Visitors

Borrower cards are available to some Libraries visitors. With these cards, visitors may borrow materials within specific guidelines. The cards, however, may not be used for LINK+ or ILL or to access resources remotely.

Applications for Borrower cards are accepted Monday through Thursday at the Honnold/Mudd Services Desk from 8 a.m.-8 p.m. and on Friday from 8 a.m.-5 p.m. (The cards are issued by the Claremont Card Center Monday through Friday 9 a.m.-4 p.m.).
