Guest Borrowers

Guest Borrowers Use Policies

We grant library borrowing privileges to family members of Wabash College faculty and staff; Wabash alumni; faculty and students of other PALNI member institutions; and residents of Montgomery County. Other visitors to campus are welcome to use our facilities but are not eligible for borrowing privileges. Guests may check out books for a period of three weeks with a maximum of 10 books at any time. Sound recordings, videos, and other media software circulate only to Wabash students, faculty and staff. Interlibrary Loan services are not available to guest borrowers.  Periodicals do not circulate.

Alumni

Alumni of Wabash may obtain a photo ID card from Computer Services in Baxter Hall.  Please call the Help Desk at 361-6400 to make an appointment, then present this card at the Library for registration as a library borrower.  Family members of Wabash alumni may obtain a card if they are residents of Montgomery County.

Montgomery County Residents

Montgomery County residents seeking borrowing privileges may register for a library card using the PDF form below.  You may return the completed form to the Lilly Library Front Desk or email the form to circ@wabash.edu.  Please contact us if you have any questions at circ@wabash.edu or 765-361-6039.  After completing a guest borrower registration form, residents must show their driver's license to verify their legal residence to obtain a library card.  A parent or guardian must accompany any person under 18 years of age.

Circulation Policies

Library Card

You must present your Wabash College ID card when checking out materials. Members of the Wabash community may obtain an ID card through Information Technology Services in Baxter Hall room 32. Please call Jamie Ross at 361-6302 to make an appointment.
