Library Circulation Policy

On-site borrowing privileges are available to students, faculty of Williston State College, staff, and other individuals possessing a borrower's card. A borrower's card, which can be obtained at the circulation desk, is required in order to check out materials or for remote access to the automated periodical indexes on ODIN. Patrons are responsible for all materials borrowed on their card. Report lost or stolen cards to the circulation desk as soon as possible. A $25.00 fee is charged by Student Services for replacing a student ID; a $10.00 fee is charged by the library for replacing a non-student borrower's card.
