Library Cards

Duke alumni and retirees may qualify for free library privileges. Visit the Lilly or Perkins Circulation desk to request a library card. Friends of the Library should bring the card sent in their introductory packets to receive their library card.

Loan Period

Most items may be borrowed for four weeks. Loans are only guaranteed for two weeks if someone else requests the same book. There is no two week guaranteed loan period for books recalled for use by Reserves. Books may be renewed if they have not been recalled or have other outstanding requests for another patron.
