CIRCULATION
The Circulation Desk is located centrally on the first floor of the LRC/Library (Building 2). Entrance into the Library is through a security gate in front of the Circulation Desk.
The Circulation Desk is the primary service area. Photo identification is required for circulation privileges.
WTC-issued ID's are used as library cards. You must present your valid student or faculty/staff ID to be registered at the Circulation Desk in order to check out material.

Students may have up to five circulating items checked out at one time.

Late Fines
Lost Material
Material is presumed lost if not returned by the last day of each semester. Patrons will be charged the replacement cost of each lost item.
Penalties
A hold will be placed on the student's account for the amount of any and all fines/fees for material returned late and/or material not returned. The hold will only be removed when all fines/fees have been paid. Borrowing privileges will be suspended for any student with any outstanding late fines and/or overdue material.
Material may be renewed one time by contacting the Circulation Desk in person, by telephone at 325-574-7678, or by email at library@wtc.edu. Overdue items may not be renewed. Material may be returned during business hours to the Library by handing it to a library staff member or by depositing it in the book drop location at the Circulation Desk. After hours, the material can be returned through an after-hours drop slot located at the East entrance (facing the courtyard) of the LRC/Library building.
Fines/fees owed as well as all material that is checked out is due by noon on the last class day of each semester. This amount must be paid along with any other fines/fees owed to the Library in order to avoid having a hold placed on the student's account. A hold prevents a student from registering for classes, obtaining a transcript, and/or graduating. This policy is in effect each enrollment period: semesters, summer sessions, and mini sessions. Lost material will be assessed as the replacement cost of each item. If the material is returned, the business office will credit the student's account for the cost minus the late fines accrued for the item.
Holds placed on student accounts
Students with late fines and/or material not returned will have a hold placed on their student account. The hold will prevent the student from registering, obtaining a transcript, and/or graduating. The hold will only be removed when all late fines and/or fees for unreturned material have been paid to either the Library via cash or check or to the business office via cash, check, credit card, or debit card. The department that accepts the payment may then remove the hold.
