LIBRARY POLICIES: CLASSROOMS

Checkout Policy:

• Students with a valid Kalamazoo College ID and library fines under $20.00 can check out library classrooms.
• Classrooms are checked out for immediate use. No reservations are accepted.
• The checkout period for a classroom is three (3) hours.  Renewals must be made in person at the Circulation Desk.
• During the academic year while classes are in session, classrooms may be checked out between 5:00pm and 9:00pm Monday - Friday and during library hours on Saturday and Sunday. During break periods and holidays when the Library is open, classrooms may be checked out during Library hours.
• All personal belongings must be removed from the classroom at time of checkout.
