How do I check out materials?

If you are Virginia Tech faculty, staff, or student, please bring your Hokie Passport to the Circulation/Reserve desk. Other types of patrons need to register using a valid photo ID such as a Virginia driver's license, a valid passport, or a photo ID from another Virginia college.

Where and how do I return library materials?

If you would like a receipt for returned materials you must return the items to a service desk. Note that items are not considered "returned" until they have been processed by the staff. 

Reserve, Interlibrary Loan, and electronics should be returned to the owning location to ensure prompt credit to your account and to avoid damage. 

For more information please refer to the Returning materials page.
