University of Washington Husky card or a valid borrower's card must be presented to borrow materials. The Library Cashier in Suzzallo Library can provide information on
borrowing privileges for persons not affiliated with the
University. For non-affiliated users who wish to consult permanent reserve, reserve, and rare materials, a valid ID will be held while the material is being used.
The staff at the circulation desk on the first floor check out most library materials and, in addition,
retrieve items from closed stack areas, place holds on items that are
checked out, and renew loans. Information on the Libraries' circulation policies and regulations is
available at this desk. Library materials from the ground floor (Rm. 15) are checked out at the desk in
the Listening Center. Room 15 is closed to the public evenings and weekends, but the materials remain available
for use and checkout by request at the Listening Center desk.
