Your Polar Express Card is your Library Card

All current students, staff and faculty are eligible for a PolarExpress identification card, available in Room 203 of the Eielson Building. Your PolarExpress card allows you to:

• Check out books/videos/DVDs and other library materials
• Check out media equipment including laptops, digital cameras, and more
• Check out reserve materials
• Review your library account and renew books
• Recall materials
• Request materials from other libraries through Interlibrary Loan services

If you’ve never checked anything out from the library before and haven’t already registered, complete the faculty registration form and bring the printed form & your PolarExpress card to the library Circulation Desk to register for library services.

Graduate students may check out standard library materials for 60 days.
