Circulation of
Materials All currently
enrolled King's College students, faculty, administration and staff
have borrowing privileges. Student ID and employee ID cards, which
are issued by the Residence Life Office in the Sheehy-Farmer Campus
Center, serve as library
cards. Other borrowers must register at the Circulation Desk to
obtain library cards. Lost cards should be reported immediately to
avoid fraudulent borrowing.
Replacements for lost cards may be obtained in the Residence
Life Office.
RECIPROCAL BORROWING
King's College has
reciprocal agreements with Luzerne County Community College,
Marywood College, Misericordia University, University of Scranton
and Wilkes University. To register for borrowing privileges at one
of these institutions a member of the King's community must show
proof of attendance at King's and a photo ID. Since policies are set

ID such as a driver's license. To register at the King's library,

THEFT AND MUTILATION
The loss of books and
periodicals from theft and mutilation undermines access to library
materials. Permanent damage to a collection results from the loss of
irreplaceable items. A
person is guilty of library theft if he/she willingly conceals on
their person or among their belongings any library material,
including periodicals, and willfully or without authority removes
the material from the library with the intention of converting it
for his own use. (Section 3929.1 Pennsylvania Crimes Code)
Incidents involving
mutilation of materials, such as tearing out pages or removing
identifying labels, are immediately referred to the Student Affairs
Office for disciplinary action.
