Library Services

Food and Drinks

You may bring beverages in the library that are in closed containers with lids.  No open cups or drinks. Drinks can only be placed on the tables in the library.  Please do not set your drink down on the bookshelves.

Non-messy snacks are allowed.

Meals are not allowed to be eaten in the library.  If you have a meal, please eat it in the lounge area where there are tables and chairs.

Library Fines

We do not charge fines for overdue materials.

Unreturned library materials will be automatically declared lost by the library system and will be billed to the borrower for the cost of the item plus a $25 processing fee.

Excessive unreturned materials or unpaid fines will result in the suspension of library borrowing privileges.

Library Card

All current students, staff, and faculty should use their Northern Seminary ID card as their library card, which can be used at any of the I-Share libraries. 

Alumni can request an alumni library card for free, which grants check-out privileges for the Northern Seminary Library physical book collection only.
