Circulation of Library Materials: Library Cards

Overview of rules and procedures for library materials.

Using Library Cards

Any person who wishes to borrow material from the Isothermal Community College Library must have a valid library card issued by a NCCC Evergreen member library. Patron's barcoded library cards and the barcode of each item borrowed are scanned at the Circulation Desk to make a record of the transaction.

Qualifications for Getting a Library Card

A library card can be obtained free of charge by inquiring at the circulation desk and filling out a library registration form. To qualify for a card issued by the College Library, a person must be:

  1. At least 14 years old if a REaCH student, or 16 years old for anyone else,
  2. And either currently:
    a. enrolled in one or more curriculum courses at Isothermal Community College or REaCH, or
    b. a resident of, working in, or paying taxes in Rutherford County or Polk County, NC

A person must also provide picture identification from a recognized form of identification such as a driver's license. Replacement fee for a lost library card is $1.00.

Forgot Your Library Card?

Library materials can be checked out to a person who does not have their library card with them; however, the person must present a picture ID to confirm their identity.

Library Privileges Security Notice

YOUR LIBRARY CARD IS NEARLY AS VALUABLE AS A CREDIT CARD – PROTECT IT.

When you are issued a library card, you agree to be responsible for all materials and services accessed through its use. If another person makes use of your card with or without your knowledge, you will be held responsible for payment of all library fines and fees which were incurred through use of that card, and your library account will become delinquent until you pay for the items.

When an Isothermal student's library account becomes delinquent, the student is BLOCKED from:

  • registering for classes,
  • graduating, and/or
  • getting transcripts from the college.

Don't let it happen!

PROTECT YOURSELF from unauthorized use of your library account by:

  • Never allowing another person to borrow materials with your library card. It’s not necessary for anyone to borrow your card, since qualified individuals can apply for a free library card.
  • Notifying the library staff to cancel the card and prevent its unauthorized use if your library card has been lost or stolen. 

Keeping Track of Your Library Account

You can use the library catalog to access your own library account, which enables you to view the materials you have checked out of any NCCC Evergreen library and their due dates, plus other information. To investigate this service visit the Isothermal Community College Library home page.
