  Reciprocal Borrowers

Barbour Library welcomes students and faculty from our reciprocal borrowing partner  institutions (see below). Visitors from these institutions can receive limited borrowing privileges at Barbour Library. Requests for borrowing privileges must be made in-person at the Circulation Desk. A completed and signed Reciprocal Borrower Form, Drivers License, and valid campus, university, or institution ID is required.

All library policies and campus rules must be followed. A reciprocal borrowing card will be issued and is to be retained and used by the specified borrower only.
