RESTRICTIONS/LIMITATIONS: Items may be borrowed from the circulating collection only, but patrons may use non-circulating materials in-house. Interlibrary loan is restricted to current faculty, staff and students of Lamar State College-Orange. Some electronic resources are restricted under licensing agreements.

ELIGIBILITY: Borrowers must present a valid TexShare card issued by the participating home library, and a valid photo ID card.

CHECK-OUT CARD AVAILABILITY: Lamar State College-Orange issued TexShare card privileges will expire for students at the end of the issuing semester. TexShare cards will be issued for any student or faculty, in good standing, requesting a card from the library.

HOURS OF OPERATION: Sunday: Closed
Monday - Thursday: 7:30 AM - 8:00 PM
Friday: 7:30 AM - 5:00 PM
Saturday: 9:00 AM-1:00 PM
Hours may vary for interim, holiday and final exam periods.

RENEWALS: Renewals are to be made in person, by phone, or online if no other borrower has requested circulating material. Materials may be renewed once. Overdue materials will not be renewed.

RETURNS: Borrowers are encouraged to return items in person. If not returned in person, materials must be securely packaged and shipped by a traceable and insured delivery carrier within the loan period. The borrower is responsible for the materials from the time of checkout until they are checked in. Late fees will be assessed for materials received after the due date.

RETURNS BY U.S. MAIL: Lamar State College-Orange
Ron E. Lewis Library
410 Front Street

OVERDUE REMINDERS: The borrower is responsible for returning materials by the due date. Courtesy reminders are sent but the library accepts no responsibility for late or non-delivered notices. The borrower is "delinquent" after materials are due. Privileges are suspended until materials are returned and fines paid.

RECALLS: All items are subject to recall after 21 days or immediately if needed by faculty or staff.

NON-CIRCULATING ITEMS: Reference, course reserves, periodicals, and microforms do not circulate.

LOAN POLICIES: Students may generally borrow materials for 21 days. Special material types have special loan periods.

FINES AND FEES: Twenty-five cents per day is charged for most overdue materials. Fees for damaged or lost materials include replacement and processing charges according to the current policy and rate schedule in effect at the time of circulation. Borrowers are responsible for all materials.

LOST ITEMS: Lost items should be reported to Lamar State College-Orange as soon as possible so fines can be paid and overdue fees stopped.

BILLING INFORMATION: Payment of fines or fees for late, lost, or damaged materials must be made at the Lamar State College-Orange Library or by mail.
