Library Policy for Borrowing Material
All faculty, staff, and students may borrow materials with a current, valid Community College of Philadelphia photo ID. Items may not be
renewed by telephone. A balance of $5.00 or more suspends your borrowing privileges.
For Inter-Library Loans, please inquire for more information.
Alumni may not check-out items, but are welcome to use library resources (excluding databases) for research within the library.
