Borrowing Library Materials
SAU students and personnel must present their SAU ID card at the Circulation Desk to borrow library material. Online and distance students may request to have library material delivered by mail. SAU alumni and members of the Spring Arbor community may borrow SAU library material by bringing their driver’s license (or other form of photo I.D. containing a current address) to the Circulation Desk and completing a library user form.
