Circulation Policies
Your Student ID card is your library card. You will need to register at the circulation desk before you can borrow books and other materials.
The following items circulate from the STCC Library:
| Item | Borrowing period | Overdue fine: |
| Books (including paperbacks and
children's books) |
4 weeks | .10 per day |
| Music CDs and audiocassettes | 4 weeks | .10 per day |
| Videotapes (circulate to STCC students,
faculty, and staff only) |
2 days | $2.00 per day |
Reserve materials may be borrowed at instructor's discretion.
All borrowed items must be returned by the end of each semester. Failure to return an item by the deadline will result in the student's grades being withheld.
The following items do not circulate from the STCC Library:
| Magazines and Reference Books |
| Some audiovisual items (films, ¾" videos, slide sets) |
| Archival Materials |
Students may make photocopies of magazine and newspaper articles. Photocopies are .10 per page.
FYI: For your convenience, copy cards are available at the circulation desk. The cost of the card is .50, and is yours to keep. Once you purchase the card, you may add either $2.00 or $5.00 in value. Once that amount is used up, you may purchase additional value in $2.00 or $5.00 increments.
