I am a student, but I do not live near campus. Can I still check out library books?
Answer
Yes, we will mail books to currently enrolled Athens State University students who live more than 30 miles from Athens and do not have scheduled classes on the main campus during a semester. Students may request these materials through our Interlibrary Loan service page. To navigate this page, select "Make a Request." You'll then be asked to log in with your library username and password. After logging in, complete the form and choose "distant education student" from the status dropdown. You'll then me prompted to enter your mailing address.
Kares Library will pay to ship items. Students are responsible for returning the items to Kares Library by the due date and for the cost of return postage.
