Late Fees

We currently do not charge daily fines. If materials are 30 days overdue a bill will be sent out with cost of the materials, a replacement fee per item and a non-refundable $5.00 processing fee. A hold will be placed on the patron's record and Library privileges will be suspended until all the fees are paid or the items are returned and the $5.00 processing fee is paid.

Failure to receive the bill does not remove the responsibility for paying the fee.

As a courtesy to colleagues and classmates, please return materials promptly.
 
 
Checking Out Materials Out Materials
 
ID Cards

A valid student ID from any of the institutions in the Maricopa County Community College District is required for checking out materials throughout the District.

Student, faculty, and staff photo ID cards may be obtained at the PVCC Campus Safety office located in the KSC Building opposite the PVCC Bookstore.

Community Borrowers may obtain a community borrower card by first going to PVCC Admissions & Records, which is located in the KSC Building, and the Campus Safety. The community borrower will need to show that they are a Maricopa County resident, 18 or older, and provide a picture ID.

Library materials can only be checked out with a valid Maricopa Community College ID.

A lost or stolen card should be reported to the Library as soon as possible to prevent its unauthorized use. You may obtain another ID card at Campus Safety for a $5.00 processing fee.
