General Information

Alumni may apply for a Trevecca Library Card at the Circulation Desk.  This card will allow them to check out books from the main collection and many materials from the Education Learning Commons (ELC) on the ground level.

Be sure to bring your library card when you check out materials.

  • The "main collection" is the books on the upper level of the library.  It also includes the popular collection, located on the main level near the rotunda.  Alumni may check out up to 10 items at a time from the main collection.
  • All overdue materials must be returned and fines paid before you can check out more library items.
  • If items are overdue more than 30 days; they are declared lost and a bill for replacement will be issued.
