Using another student's ID card for any purpose, including checking out library material, is prohibited. ID cards can be obtained free-of-charge at the Library front desk or by completing an online application form online. New students should obtain their ID card at the beginning of their first semester. Returning students must renew their library privileges each semester, which can be accomplished by presenting their Denver Seminary Photo ID to the library circulation desk staff. Checking Out Books Books may be checked out anytime during library hours. Periodicals are not available for check out, and 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 Reserve, the library may recall the book immediately. Students in possession of books needed for Reserve must return the book by the date requested or be subject to a fine of $1.00 per day. Fines Late fees for overdue general collection books are 25 cents per book per day, $1.00 per hour per Reserve item, and $5.00 per day for Kindle E-Readers. Fines will also be charged on items not properly checked-out. In most cases, a lost or damaged item results in a fine of $80.00. Refusal to pay fines or habitual violation of library policies may result in suspension of library privileges as well as a "hold" being placed upon the student's diploma.
