Check Out and Renew Library Books

Summary

Information about checking out library books, including how many items can be checked, borrowing time, overdue fines, and renewal

How to Check Out Library Items

You must always have your A-B Tech student ID card (or employee ID card) with you in order to check anything out of the library. There are no exceptions to this.

Item Limit and Check Out Length

For curriculum students, faculty, and staff:

Continuing Education students and Community Patrons

Students in a Continuing Education program are limited to five general collection books for two weeks.

Overdue Fines

Overdue fines should be paid directly to the Library, not the Business Office. The Library can be reached by phone at (828) 398-7301.

Renewal

You can renew books at the circulation desk in the library or online through the library catalog. You don't have to bring your books with you to renew them in person.

To renew books online, go to abtech.edu and click "Library" at the top of the page. On the "Library" page, click "Renew Items," and follow the directions on this page to renew your items online.

If an item is already overdue, you won't be able to renew it online. Also, you can renew books and audio books one time if there are no hold requests. All other library materials are not renewable.
