Library Services for Non-UMW Users

Guest Patron Cards

Application for a Guest Patron card must be made at the Circulation Desk at Simpson Library. Upon satisfactory completion of the application and a payment (cash or check) of $75.00, a library card will be authorized for residents of Virginia over the age of eighteen. Educators employed by the Commonwealth of Virginia receive a discounted rate. Payment will not be refunded for any reason.

The applicant must make arrangements to have the photo ID card made at the EagleOne Card Center. The card is valid for one year from the date of application. No materials will be loaned until the applicant has the card in hand.

The Guest Patron card is not transferable. The cardholder is responsible for all materials circulated on this card as well as any charges that are incurred. This card does not entitle the Guest Patron to Interlibrary Loan service, Document Delivery services, or off-campus database access. The Guest Patron cannot place recalls or holds on items that are checked out. It is further understood that materials loaned are for the personal use of the borrower.
