Students are allowed to check out DVDs for 3 day. If you do not return it within 24 hours it is a $1.00 per day/per DVD.
You can renew your items online.
You can return material at either library's circulation desk.

Each book is given a Library of Congress call number.
Call numbers are arranged alphabetically, and then by whole number (everything before the first period in the call number).
A call number is like a book's address, and books on related topics are located next to each other on our shelves. Click here to find out what call numbers are assigned for particular subjects:
Now that you've found a book for your research, how do you find it on the shelf? You can always ask for help at the circulation desk or ask a librarian. Here is a helpful video by CSB and SJU Libraries that demonstrates how to find books on the shelves:

Audiobooks provide listening enjoyment for all ages and interests. Many popular adult and young adult books, fiction and non-fiction, are published as audiobooks, and Great River Regional Libraries (GRRL) has a large collection on CD and cassette.
The library also offers downloadable audiobooks through the GRRL Digital Library OverDrive service. New titles are being added all the time.
You can get a GRRL library card by visiting either Clemens or Acluin Library's circulation desk. It takes approximately one week to get your card.
