Frequently Asked Questions

What do I need to check out a book?

Your current NSCC ID is preferred, but we also accept another photo ID. As long as we can verify that you are who you say you are, we can then bring up your library record using your name.

Can I have food or drink in the library?

Yes and no. If the drink is in a lidded container and you are not seated near a desktop computer, you can. We don’t mind people studying or relaxing with a snack, but computers and food/drink don’t mix!

Where can I return my books?

There are two BOOK DROPS available.
1. In the Atrium (enter through the A10 entrance, the drop box is to the right)
2. Just inside the library doors, in the circulation counter
You can use the Atrium book drop anytime that the College is open. You can use the inside-the-library book drop whenever the library is open.

Where can I pick up my books?

You have two options:
1. During the library’s open hours, you can come to the circulation desk on the first floor of ‘A’ Building
2. Anytime that the College is open, you can pick items up in the green remote locker on the north wall of the Atrium. You will need your student ID badge.

What does “remote service” on Fridays mean?

The circulation desk is not open on Fridays, but library staff works remotely on Friday mornings and can assist you via phone or email. Please email us at library@northweststate.edu or call 419.267.1274

If the library isn’t open, where else can I go to use a computer or print something out?

There are two open computer labs in ‘A’ Building, one in the Learning Lounge (A103) and one on the second floor, just outside of the technology help desk in A223. These labs are open during the building’s open hours, and both areas contain computers and a printer. You can print using your PaperCut login.
