card

Your student ID card is also your library card, and is needed to access most student services including:

Library (see below)
Academic Support Center (ASC)
Writing Center
Math Lab
High Tech Center
LIGHT Center
Disabled Students Programs and Services (DSPS)
Meal Plan (Business Office- 476-4121)

You can get your student ID, free of charge, at the library circulation desk. Your ID does not need to be renewed- it is valid as long as you are registered for classes. You can have an ID card made any day during library open hours up until 30 minutes before closing (see Library Hours on our homepage).

To obtain an ID you must:

Be currently registered for classes (you can get your ID one business day after signing up for classes)

AND

Present a valid photo ID:

California Drivers License
California Identification Card
United States Passport
United States Military Identification
Student Body Identification Card
If you have never been issued a photo ID, you will need to bring in your birth certificate along with a parent/guardian with one of the above photo IDs.

Library card privileges:

Your student ID is also your library card and enables you to check out library materials including books, DVDs, audiobooks and course reserves. Your library card is also used for printing from campus computer labs. Money can be added to the card at the Print Card Value Station (cash only). Prints are 10¢ each and for every $1.00 you add to the card you get $1.20 in print value. Print value and meal plan value are kept in separate accounts and cannot be exchanged (e.g. meal plan money cannot be used to pay for prints). The library recommends only keeping a small amount of money on your card because if it is lost or stolen, you will lose any print value that is on the card.

Lost Cards:

Each cardholder is responsible for all materials borrowed on his or her library account.
Report immediately a lost or stolen library card by calling the Eureka Library Circulation Desk at (707) 476-4260. The account will be blocked.
Photo identification will be required to obtain a replacement card.
