Borrowing Policies

Borrowing Policies

To borrow library items, bring them to the Circulation Desk and present your UWSP campus ID card or UWSP Community Patron Card.

Who can borrow items?
  • Current UWSP Faculty, Staff, and Students can check out materials using their UWSP Point Card ID.
  • Faculty, staff, and students of another UW university can check out materials using their UW institution's identification card.
  • Other visitors who wish to check out materials will need to obtain a UWSP Community Patron Card at the Circulation Desk. You must be a Wisconsin resident at least eighteen years of age and present a valid driver's license or state identification card.
  • Proxy Patron status allows one patron to check out books under another patron's identification number. For example, professors may wish to have assistants pick up or check out materials on their behalf. To set up someone as a proxy, you must submit a written letter or email (libcirc@uwsp.edu) to Circulation. Include your name and UWSP ID number and the names and ID numbers of the people you would like on your proxy list, as well as the date you want the proxy privileges to expire.
Overdue Items & Fines

You will be fined for lost or damaged materials, and overdue Reserve materials. Fines are payable upon return of materials, but the fines are not assessed until the item is checked in. All fines are payable at the Circulation Desk.

Email notices are sent for overdue items. Please notify us if you believe the item was returned. Notices are generated for fines not paid when overdues are returned. You will be billed for replacement costs plus the accrued fines if a book is held 30 days past the due date. Failure to receive a notice does not relieve the borrower of the obligation to return material on the due date or pay the fines accrued.

Anyone owing fines or fees amounting to $200.00 or more will not be allowed borrowing privileges until the matter is resolved.
