Using the Library

The Temple Library is located across the hall from Simon Hall. It is open whenever the Temple is open.

Borrowing
The library uses a shelf checkout system, there are book due date cards in the back of every book.  To check out a book, please write your name and phone number on the due date cards and place them in the small gray box on the computer desk.  Books should be typically returned within one month; however, this is only a guideline. Because we have a small collection of audiovisual materials (DVDS, CDS and Videos), these items should be returned within one week.

New books are usually located on top of the audiovisual display cabinet. Library materials are also on display in the atrium.

Donations
The Library always welcomes donations, we ask that they be good condition (no mold, ripped pages etc.) In order to maintain a current collection, we ask that they be no more then ten years old. If the library can’t find a place for them, we will donate them to other libraries or institutions.
