Circulation

Policies

The Circulation Department at the PPCC Library offers full-service check-out and returns during regular library hours. Students, staff, and faculty of the College, as well as members of the community, are always welcome in the Libraries.

PPCC students need to present a PPCC college ID to check out material. This serves as your Library card. PPCC faculty and staff need an ID from Human Resources.

Students from other colleges and community users may check out two books at a time. Nonprint materials may be used only in the Library. A local public library card or college ID and a picture ID are required to check out books.
