Checking Out Books
The D.C. library utilizes a self-checkout system. Instruction sheets are posted in the library. Books may be
checked out anytime during library hours or at other times by arrangement. Periodicals are not available
for check out. No more than 26 books may be checked out at any one time. Students may renew their
checked out books one time by accessing their record through the My Account tab in the online catalog.
However, if another student has placed a hold on the same book, the checkout period for the book will be
reduced to two weeks. If a book is needed for Reference, the library may recall the book immediately.
Students in possession of books needed for Reference or Reserve must return the book by the date
requested or be subject to fines.
Library / I.D. Cards
All Denver Seminary students must have a current Denver Seminary Photo I.D. card in order to check out
library materials. Using another student's ID card for any purpose, including checking out library material,
is prohibited.
New students are issued a student photo ID card at the beginning of their first semester. Students must
complete an application form online. ID cards will be processed at the main Denver Seminary library after
receipt of ID photos and sent to the D.C site for student pick up. Barcodes (applied on the back of the
student ID cards) are necessary for library checkout privileges. Returning students must renew their library
privileges each semester. This can be accomplished by presenting their Denver Seminary Washington, D.C.
Photo I.D. to the library staff.
