How Do I?

Your library card consists of a library-issued barcode sticker on the back of your student ID combined with your current semester student ID. The barcode need only be issued once. You keep the copy of the ID with the barcode attached to it in the plastic sleeve the Library provides and slide each current semester ID in on top of it. Since the library issues IDs after the first 2-day registration period, both parts can be picked up in the library. You are responsible for all items checked out on your library card until they have been returned to the library, whether or not you checked them out for someone else or they were checked out in your name. Report and replace a lost or stolen ID/library card immediately.

No. DACC and Danville Public (or any of the other public libraries) belong to separate library systems and our cards can not be used at one another's institutions. Eastern University students, however, can use their Panther card here.

During Spring and Fall semesters, the library is open M-Th, 7:30 - 8; F, 7:30 - 5.. Intersession: M-F, 8 - 5. Summer: M-Th, 8 - 5.

The library is located on the first floor of Clock Tower on the South end of the building (nearest the V. A.).

Yes. You can get a Community User's card if you live in the College's Service District. You will need to get a card in order to use the Computers or check out materials.

Fines are charged on Reserve items, videos and special borrowables, such as headsets. Charges for Reserves and videos accumulate at the rate of $1/day or $1/hr depending upon the circulation period. Charges for special borrowables vary. Failure to return items results in a replacement charge plus a processing fee.

Charges of $5.00 or less may be paid in the library. Larger charges must be paid in the cashier's office. Once the fine has been paid in the cashier's office, the cashier will contact the library and it will proceed with releasing your account.

Librarians are always glad to assist students and staff members with research questions, regardless of whether the research is related to coursework at the College. You may come to the library and speak with a librarian in person, call on the phone (443-8739), email the library, or use the IM chat box on the library's main page if the librarian is "online". If your research question is lengthy in nature, it is recommended that you come in to speak with a librarian in person in order to get the best possible help.

After the first two days of fall and spring semester, students may pick up their IDs in the library at the circulation desk. Students who registered late, or who have some other problem with their account, will have to fill out a form to have their ID made because it will not have been run with the initial batch of IDs produced. Similarly, any student who needs to make a correction to the information on the ID will also need to request a new one. There is no charge for a replacement. Replacement IDs will typically be available the next working day.
Online students who need to pick up an ID in order to take a test at the placement center should make arrangements to do so in advance of the date of their exam.

Groups are welcome to work together in any section of the Library except the Quiet Study Area or at the computer work stations. We just ask that they keep the noise at a reasonable level to avoid disturbing others. No rooms are available for group work.

Yes. On the lower level, on the North end, the last room is reserved for individual studying and is strictly a quiet study area. If people are noisy in this area, don't hesitate to ask a staff member to intervene.
