The Clark State Library is happy to have community patrons use the materials and services of the Clark State Community College Library, with a few provisos and qualifications. Persons who are residents of the state of Ohio may apply for Courtesy Cards. They must present an Ohio Driver's License or other picture ID, or failing that, have the permission of the Director of Library Resources. The Courtesy Card holder in good standing* may:

1. Borrow books from our Library. A total of five books may be checked out to a patron's record during any given period of time. Books may be renewed once.

2. Use OhioLINK services including borrowing books, catalogs, and databases on a walk-in basis. OhioLINK books count as some or all of the five books which may be charged to a patron's record at any one time.

3. Use cooperating OhioLINK and SOCHE libraries depending on the other library's policies.

4. Use the premises, assistance, services, and equipment with the understanding that Clark State students and employees take precedence when equipment and staff are scarce.

5. The Courtesy card is valid for 6 months and may be renewed indefinitely as long as the holder is in good standing.

6. In order to save word processing or other documents, the Courtesy Card holder must have his/her own properly formatted disk.

Interlibrary Loan services other than those through OhioLINK Patron Online Borrowing should be obtained through the card holder's public, corporate or school library.

Photocopies are charged at the rate of $0.10 per page. Laser printer copies are charges at the rate of $.20 per page. No credit can be given for user mistakes.

*Good standing is defined as having no overdue or other outstanding materials, fines, and bills.
