If you lose an item

A book or other item is considered lost if it is not returned within 60 days of its due date. If the item is returned after 60 days, the replacement cost is waived.  Replacement fees are equivalent to price of an item an equivalent copy of the item may be purchased with the express permission of the Library Director in advance. Fines and fees are paid in the Cashier's Office.  Repeated loss of library materials will result in the loss of library privileges.

Interlibrary Loan Borrowing
Interlibrary loan is a service only available to students, faculty, and staff doing college related activities.

The library that owns the item determines the borrowing and renewal times; however you can generally borrow books for about three weeks and most media for about two weeks. Renewals generally extend the borrowing period about two more weeks. Interlibrary loan is contingent upon relationships with other libraries.  As such, not all interlibrary loan request can be accommodated.  Reach out to library@wwcc.edu if you have questions.


Suspension of Library Privileges

In the event of unreturned materials. A borrower's borrowing privileges may be suspended until the account is reconciled.
