    Community Borrowers

    The BCC Library Media Center (LMC) facilities and resources are available for use by library users who are not students or employees of BCC. There have been cases when these users have requested to borrow books and magazines to use outside the LMC. Several community and technical colleges in Washington State have a community borrower policy.

    • A user card valid from the day of issue through the remaining academic year and subject to Circulation Policies will be issued to King County residents for a $20.00 fee. This fee will include a user card. Fees collected will be deposited in the LMC revenue fund.
    • All user cards expire on the day after the last day of spring quarter, which is the last day of the academic year. New cards for the year are issued starting the first day of summer quarter. New cards will only be issued after all o utstanding items are returned and fines and fees have been paid.
    • Community borrowing card and picture ID will be required at every check out. Lost and damaged cards may be replaced for a $2.00 processing fee.
    • There will be a check out limit of 2 items only per borrower.
      • Books may be checked out for 3 weeks
      • Periodicals may be checked out for 1 week
      • Course Reserve items may be used in the library only
      • Audio-visual materials may be used in the Media Services lab only
    • There will be no check out during breaks between quarters, when the LMC is officially closed.
    • Card holders are responsible for all items checked out to their account. Fines will be charged for overdue items (currently $0.20 per open day, per item). Borrower will be charged a replacement cost for lost or missing materials.

    Disabled Student Access

    Interlibrary Loan

    The LMC has cooperative relationships with several libraries throughout the Northwest. If an item is not available in the BCC Collection, a reference librarian can help locate a library that owns the item. In most instances, it is possible to borrow the material from the other library through a system called Interlibrary Loan. It usually takes 7-10 days to get an item via interlibrary loan, but can take as long as two weeks. There are limits to the number of items that can be borrowed through Interlibrary Loan. Requests should be placed with a reference librarian. (425) 564-6161
