Borrowing Policies
Bates Identification Cards (or Key Cards) are issued at the Electronic Access System Office located in Chase Hall. All patrons must present the appropriate I.D. card for all library borrowing. Local residents borrowing government publications need a photo I.D. such as a driver's license.
Library patrons are responsible for returning borrowed materials in good condition. If library materials are lost or damaged the patron is liable for the replacement charge, the processing fee, and a non-refundable billing fee.
All materials must be returned by the due date. Fines are charged for materials returned after the due date.
Please refer to the fines policy for more detailed information.
The Librarian reserves the right to limit the number of items borrowed by a user at any one time.
As a security measure, the library staff reserves the right to inspect backpacks, bags, etc. if the exit alarm sounds.
Questions about borrowing policies should be directed to Julie Retelle, Access Services Librarian: 207-786-6265, jretelle@bates.edu.
