Borrowing items

How to borrow items

You can use your Concordia ID card (or Alumni Card / Library Privilege Card with valid ID*) to borrow from the Concordia Library. Borrowers must have an active (non-expired) library account. In cases where the usual loan period would exceed the expiry date on the user's account, the loan will be due back on the expiry date.

You can borrow regularly circulating material at the Loans & Returns desk (Webster Library) or Circulation desk (Vanier Library) or at a self-checkout machine at either library.

To use the self-checkout machine, you will need to scan the barcode on your Concordia ID card (or Alumni Card / Library Privilege Card) then follow the instructions on the machine. For information on when your item(s) are due back check your My Library Account.

Some material, such as journals and reference material, must be consulted within the Library only and cannot be borrowed.

* Valid ID: Driver's license with an address or photo ID with some proof of residence (e.g., utility bill).
