How do I borrow a book?
Checking out library booksÂ
Answer
- Students can use a photo ID (BTC student ID card or a government issued photo ID) to borrow items, most items can be checked out from the library for 4 weeks. Loaner equipment such as laptops and WiFi hotspots require government issued photo ID.
- Community members need to show proof of address when setting up a library account, anyone who lives in our district can check out materials (excluding student loaner equipment) from the Blackhawk Technical College library
