Library Borrowing Procedures & Lending Policy
You must present a valid SCIT Student ID Card in order to borrow library material. When checking out library material, you assume responsibility for anything that is checked-out on your ID card. If you change your address, email, etc., notify the school on your next visit. If your ID is lost or stolen, it is very important to notify the school as soon as possible since you are still responsible for items checked out on the ID. When an item is lost, you will be charged the cost of the item, any accrued overdue fines, plus a processing fee.
