Why Do I Need a Library Card?

To check out books, DVDs, textbooks, and more from the Mendocino College Library.

Your library card is also your student ID which you can use to ride Mendocino County Transit for free!

Where Do I Get a Library Card?

In most cases, the first day you become a registered student, you will have a student ID card issued to you. This ID card is your library card. You can also go to the Welcome Center to get an ID card.

What Happens If I Lose My Card?

You can get a replacement card at the Circulation Desk. You just need to be a registered student.

What Happens If I Am No Longer a Student at Mendocino College?

You are welcome to visit the library, log in to the computers with a guest pass, and read books, magazines, and newspapers in the library.

Once you re-enroll, your card is activated again.

What Does It Mean To "Check Out" a Library Book?

Checking out a book means you borrow it to take home and read.

Most books you can check out for 4 weeks.

Other books you may only check out for 2 hours. These are called "Reserve Books."

Finally, Lending Library items such as textbooks, chromebooks, hotspots, and calculators are loaned for the entire semester.

How Many Books, DVDs, Music CDs, or Audiobooks Can I Check Out at One Time?

• A total of 10 books per check-out
• A maximum of 5 DVDs per check-out
• A maximum of 5 Audiobooks per check-out

Are There Items That I Cannot Check Out?

Yes. Reference Books, newspapers, and magazines do not get checked out. You are welcome to read them here in the library!

What If Mendocino College Library Doesn't Have the Book I Want?

Have you tried searching Mendocino County Library's catalog?
