Non-Guilford Patrons / Friends of the Library / Guest Patrons
PALS Consortium Institution's faculty and students - Bennett, Greensboro, and Salem College, and Salem Academy are permitted to borrow circulating materials by requesting items through the PALS system or by presenting current ID cards at the desk. The Consortium rules limit borrowing to a total of 15 items at one time from all Consortium schools and allow one renewal per item.
Faculty and Students from UNCG may borrow books by using their current UNCG identification. Their counterparts from High Point University and N.C. A&T may borrow books with a letter or request form from their home institution's Reference Librarian.
Members of Friends of the Guilford College Library who have made an annual donation of $50 or more ($25.00 for senior citizens or Guilford Alumni) receive borrowing privileges that allow them to borrow up to ten books at one time. They may also borrow other circulating materials like CD's, videos, recordings and Juvenile books. Retired Guilford College faculty members receive the same privileges as the Guests of Hege Library. Residents of Friends Homes at Guilford may also apply and receive limited library borrowing privileges from Hege Library.
Members of the groups above are subject to the same regulations and fines that apply to all library patrons.
