A current University ID is required to check-out library materials. Student library accounts are automatically updated each semester. Faculty and staff accounts are valid for one year and are also updated automatically.  Alumni, Community Borrowers, Local High School Students, and Retired Faculty are issued Clark Memorial Library cards.  Questions regarding the check out/renewal of library materials can be answered by calling 740.351.3519, emailing Circulation Services, or stopping by the Circulation Counter.

Most local and OhioLINK materials can be checked out for 21 days. Special items and videos circulate for less time.  The due date slip will indicate the return date. 

Clark Memorial Library does not charge fines for most Shawnee State Library materials. However, overdue CD's accrue fines of $1.00 per day. Overdue OhioLINK item fines are $0.50/day. There is a $50 fine for items that are more than 30 days overdue. If materials are not returned, check-out privileges will be suspended and grade transcripts will not be issued.

Charges are made for lost and damaged library materials.

Library book returns are located at the Circulation Counter, the east outside wall of the library, outside Massie Hall, and in the lobby of the Library building.

The Clark Library has a limited selection of materials not related to academic research.  These materials include popular books, graphic novels, comics, movies and CDs.  The library even has a limited selection of board games.  For more information on our non-research resources check out the Fun Materials Research Guide.
