Local high school students taking a class at Midd

Local high schools students are eligible for courtesy guest privileges during the semester they are taking a class at Midd.
If they ask to borrow and do not have a library card – refer them to Main. A supervisor will verify eligibility (based on a list from the Registrar’s Office), ask them to fill out an application and then create a library card.
Regular guest printing and computing policies apply. They will need to create a print account and pay for printing and will need to use the daily password to access computers.
They can access Eres by using the password – usually given to them by their professor.
Thanks for helping them navigate our systems and resources.

VCAL Borrowing


From Terry Simpkins:
I wanted to alert you to the VCAL reciprocal borrowing program that Middlebury now participates in. This program allows faculty from Middlebury to walk-in to participating libraries in the state and borrow materials from them as if they were full guest borrowers of that library. Faculty do need to fill out a form and get a VCAL card from the circulation desk here at Middlebury first.
Please remember that:
Faculty need to first get a VCAL card from Main Circ
Faculty are expected to return borrowed items to the owning library
Faculty are expected to abide by the owning library’s guest circulation policies
Please feel free to let me know if you need more information.
Thanks,
Terry

Guest borrowing cards are issued during weekdays at the Main Circ Desk. Supervisors – please check the circ wiki for details about processing VCAL borrowing privileges.
