Borrowing Privileges
The SRJC Libraries primarily support the educational process at the College. Current SRJC students, faculty, and staff members may borrow books from the collections with a currently validated SRJC ID card. SRJC students, faculty, and staff may also borrow laptop computers for in-building use with a currently validated SRJC ID card.
Through a reciprocal borrowing agreement with the Sonoma State University Library, SRJC students may also obtain a free, one-semester courtesy borrower card for the
Sonoma State University Library by presenting proof of current SRJC registration to the Sonoma State University Library Circulation Desk staff.
Community members are welcome to use the SRJC Libraries print collections inside the Doyle and Mahoney Library buildings. If a community member needs to borrow materials, a Community Borrower Card that is valid for the current semester may be obtained. Cards are issued to those who can show proof of residence in Sonoma County and who are 18 years of age or older. Information about how to register is here.
