Circulation Policies @ LLCC

This guide reviews the circulation policies at Lincoln Land Community College Library.

Circulating Materials

Many different items may be checked out at LLCC Library, and the loan period for each varies depending on your status (i.e., student, faculty/staff, or community patron).  Please refer to the table below for more information.

For all of the patron groups, a maximum of 15 items can be borrowed at any one time.  In addition, a maximum of 5 items can be checked out on a particular subject at any one time.

Students and faculty/staff also have access to many different items through our Interlibrary Loan services, and there are no limits to the number of items that may be checked out through Interlibrary Loan.
