Books How to Search for Books
The STC Library has a collection of over 25,000 books and manuals. You can check them out for 3 weeks at a time. Student ID is required. A late charge of $0.10 per day will charged each day past the due date. Overdue notices are sent out monthly. After the 4th notice, a hold is placed on a student’s BANNER account. In order to lift the hold, the student must do one of two things: Return the book to the library or pay the library the replacement cost of the book plus $10.00. Any item that is lost or damaged beyond repair while circulating will result in a replacement cost plus $10. Books are replaced with current edition. Students that vandalize or steal library materials may be subject to disciplinary action. Librarians will mail any circulating item in the Library to off-campus students who are currently registered and without holds on their Banner account. The student is responsible for returning the items to the Library. All other fees and fines are the same as for those on campus. The student should contact the librarians for this service.
