Visiting Student Borrowers

Clark Memorial Library can work with high schools to offer borrowing privileges to the high school's students. If your high school has arranged this benefit for you, simply bring your information sheet and card to the Service Desk, and we can set your account up. The borrowing privileges available to visiting student borrowers are the same privileges extended to all general public members (see above).
