Can community members/local high school students get a library card?
Can community members/local high school students get a library card?
Answer
- A valid library card is required to check out material.
- Library cards are for personal use only and may not be loaned or transferred.
- Possession of a library card does not guarantee access to all library material or services. For example, off-site access to licensed electronic resources is available only to current UCI students, faculty and staff with a UCInetID or a sponsored UCInetID; and interlibrary loan privileges are available only to current UC students, faculty and staff.
- When trying to get a community library card, you must present proof of your address using a license, bill, etc.
- There is a fee for your Year long membership.
- A community card is $80.
- With a senior discount it comes out to $75
- A high school student must be in AP/IB classes in Southern California and come with a letter from their high school librarian showing proof our collection is in need, to get access.
