Middlesex Library Services and Policies

Borrowing Privileges

  • A Connecticut State library card is required to borrow materials. Connecticut State students, faculty, and staff may use their Connecticut State ID as their library card. With a valid photo I.D., community members may apply for a Middlesex library card at the main library desk. 

  • Materials should be returned to the library main desk or in the book drop outside the library staff door in Chapman Hall. For Middlesex Meriden students, you can return materials to Platt High School Media Center. If you fail to return an item, you will be charged the full replacement price of the item.
