Every Fayetteville State University (FSU) student borrower at Chesnutt Library, students attending the Fort Bragg campus,
and students attending the Cross Creek Early College High School must have a
current picture identification card, which is called the
University ID Card, FSU Bronco
Express Card or the One Card. This serves as your
library card to check out materials, and can also be used as a copy
card for the photocopiers in the Library. According to University
Policy, the University ID Card, which serves as a student's identification
card, is to be carried with
a student at all times, while on campus, and is to be produced at
the request of a staff person. Laptops are available for
checkout at the Circulation Desk for use strictly within the
Library, in three hour time increments. See detailed
Laptop Policy.
Students can obtain an University ID Card from the One Card
Office located in the Jones Student Center. Faculty and Staff can
obtain an University ID Card from the University
Photographer's Office located in the Jones Student Center.
Students may also use their University ID Card or Driver's
License, with proof of
current enrollment, to check out
materials from the constituent institutions of The University of North
Carolina System. This requires that a student be able to use
their Library PIN number to bring up their
Library
Record to verify they are currently enrolled and have a library
record in good standing..

identification
card, which

Loan Procedures
Once a user has located the material desired, it should be taken
to the Circulation Desk. Upon presentation of a valid FSU University
ID Card, Friends of the Library Card, Community Borrower's Card, or
valid Driver's License, the borrower will have the material checked-out through the
automated circulation system.
Holds
As a member of the UNC Coastal Carolina Library Consortium, FSU
students, faculty and staff, may place holds on UNC-Pembroke or UNC-Wilmington
circulating materials. These materials usually take from five
to seven days to arrive at FSU. They can then be checked out
at the Circulation Desk with the FSU University ID Card.
Items will be held at
the Circulation Desk for five days. If not picked up by then,
they will be returned to the institution (UNC-P, UNC-W) that lent
them. Holds placed on FSU materials by our
institution's users will be pulled and held for five days at the
Circulation Desk. If they are not picked up, they will be
returned to the FSU collection.
Borrowing and Renewals
Students
A limit of twenty (20) books, may be borrowed at any one time.
A
book may be renewed once for an additional four-week period, unless
another user has requested that it be placed on "hold."
A limit of three (3) media items may be borrowed at any one time.
An item may be renewed once for an additional three day period,
unless another user has requested that it be placed on "hold."
After the renewal, materials must be allowed to remain in the
library a minimum of seven (7) days to allow for possible use by
other users. Circulation of the material may continue with the
original borrower after this designated period. No more than three
(3) renewals allowed. Students may renew their books from the
various computers throughout the campus or from home. See "My
Library Record" under "Services" on the
library's home page, and follow the steps listed.

Media items are limited to three (3) items within a four-week

materials they have borrowed directly to the institution from which
it was borrowed.

when materials are overdue. If the material is not returned within
one month after the due date, it is presumed lost. A statement of
the replacement cost will be sent to the University Office of
Business and Finance for collection from the borrower. A
"flag" will be placed on the account, and will not be
removed, until the account is paid.
Students
An overdue notice for materials not returned within one week
after the due date will be sent to the borrower. If by the end of
the third week the materials have not been returned, the books are
considered lost. At this time, the borrower's name and the amount of
replacement cost is sent to the University Office of Business and
Finance for charging to the student's account. A "flag"
will be placed on the student's account, and will not be removed,
until the student pays for the lost material.
Community Borrowers and Friends of the Library
An overdue notice for a book not returned on the due date will be
sent to the borrower one week after the due date. If the books have
not been returned within one week after the date due notice, that
user's borrowing privileges will be canceled. A bill for the
replacement cost of the material will be sent to the University
Office of Business and Finance for collection.
Please Note: Once a bill for a lost book or other material
has been filed with the Office of Business and Finance, the book is
not to be returned to the library. It is to be paid for at the
replacement cost. A fifteen dollar processing fee will be charged
for each book replaced.
