Maryville College: Lamar Memorial Library

Use of Maryville College Library’s facilities, equipment, and documents is available to the public within the Lamar Memorial Library. Some electronic databases and other services, however, are restricted to Maryville College students, faculty, and staff. The guidelines regarding the services, such as borrowing privileges, applicable to Community Patrons (non-Maryville College students, faculty, or staff) are outlined in the following policy.

Community Patrons are charged an annual fee of $15.00. This annual fee is waived for alumni of Maryville College.
Community Patrons cannot borrow books for classes taken at other academic institutions. This includes persons enrolled at other colleges, universities or students enrolled in area primary or secondary schools.
Community Patrons need a valid registration card to check-out library materials.
Community Patrons can borrow up to 4 books at any one time, with no more than 2 books on one subject. In the case of fiction, no more than 2 books by the same author can be borrowed at one time. Community patrons may not check-out videos.
The loan period for books is 21-days.
The fine for overdue books is $.10 per item per day.
Community Patrons will not be allowed to check-out other library materials until all overdue books are returned and fines are paid.
Materials overdue more than 30 days will be assumed lost. The patron will then be billed an estimated item replacement cost of $40.00 plus a $25.00 processing fee. If materials are returned after replacement billing, fines are adjusted to the overdue amount.
The Maryville College Library reserves the right to limit or deny the use of materials or facilities to Community Patrons who abuse their privileges.
