Borrowing
Your Bay College Staff ID is your library card; please bring it to check out materials from the library.
When you check out an item from the Bay College Library, you will get a printed or emailed receipt to help know when your item is due back to the library. You will also receive an email the day before your item is due to remind you to return or renew the items you have checked out.
Returning
Done with your items from the Bay College Library? Please return them so others may use them, too.
On the Escanaba Campus, please bring laptops, hotspots, and equipment to the library's main desk. Books, movies, magazines, and music may be returned to any of the drop boxes. They are located:
- Inside the library
- Outside the library (left of the entrance)
- Outside of the Besse Theater (left of the entrance)
On the Iron Mountain Campus, please return laptops, hotspots, and technology equipment to the IT Help Desk. Books, movies, magazines, and music may be returned to the Student Success Center.
