We have extended due dates so that you won’t accrue new fines. You can log in and renew books online. Late fees accrued after March 6 will be waived. If you need to talk to the library, please call 425-564-2252. Messages will be returned as soon as possible. Library materials can be returned to the metal book drop outside of the library entrance, D126.

Manage My Account (Renew/Place Holds)
Not sure what items you have checked out and when items are due? Want to place a hold on an item? You can do this by logging into your library account. Here’s how:
- Visit the Library Account Login Page or click Log in in Primo
- Log in with your BC/Canvas username and password
- From here, you can:
- Renew items
- See which items you have checked out
- See what fines you have (Note: there is no way to pay fines online)
- Note: Requests/Holds are not available while the library is closed. Once you have logged in with your BC/Canvas username and password, when you search for an item, within each record is a link for “Request” which will place a hold on the item.
Fines can be paid in person, or via phone when the library is open. While the library is closed to prevent spreading infection, the easiest way to pay a fine is by calling the Cashier’s Office 425-564-2309.
Interlibrary Loan
We are not currently offering Interlibrary Loan to students, due to library closures. Faculty can request materials via the Faculty Interlibrary Loan Form. Talk to a reference librarian to learn more: reference@bellevuecollege.edu
Laptops
Students can check out laptops from the Tech Hub on a daily basis. Please read the guidelines for daily use.
