The Library Services Desk is located on the first floor, just inside the main entrance of the library. In order to check out materials your Bearcat ID and the materials you wish to check out should be presented at the Library Services Desk. Materials must be checked out 15 minutes prior to closing.
If you are not a Northwest student or a member of the University faculty or staff, you may use a Maryville Public Library card or Missouri state residents may obtain a Special Borrower's card for a fee.
The loan period for most library materials for students is three weeks, with possible renewals if no "hold" exists for that particular title. Graduate students and staff may check out most library materials for eight weeks. The loan period for faculty is one semester. All loans are subject to recall after the initial three weeks if a request for the material is made.
During open library hours, materials that have been checked out MUST be returned to the bookdrop at the Library Services Desk. A bookdrop is located outside the main entrance for your convenience when the library is closed.
A $60.00 replacement fee and a $15.00 processing fee will be assessed for most materials not returned to Owens Library. Two courtesy overdue notices will be sent to student e-mail accounts before charges are added to the student's university bill.
