Exceptions are made on a case-by-case basis. Fill out the Equipment Request Form or contact the Technology Librarian, preferably at least 24-hours in advance, for special arrangements.
Vogel Library's primary clients are students, faculty and staff at Wartburg College. In addition, we serve library patrons of Iowa through the Open Access program which entitles public library users to borrow materials from participating libraries in Iowa.
Your Wartburg College photo identification card serves as your library card. We ask that you have your card with you to borrow materials from the library. You will be held responsible for all materials borrowed using your card.
By presenting your public library card or Iowa identification, you are entitled to receive a borrower's card from Vogel Library. Public patrons may check out materials from the library and may use resources in-house. However, Vogel Library does not provide public patrons inter-library loan services, reserve materials, or remote access to electronic resources; patrons are encouraged to seek these services at their local public library. These policies also apply to Eisenach residents.
Extended loans for library materials will be made on a case-by-case basis. To request extended loans for equipment please fill out the Equipment Check-Out Form at least two business days in advance of when it will be needed.
When an item is not returned by the due date, late notices are sent alerting patrons to the fines and fees accrued.
Fine Schedule for Late Material (not to exceed $10 per day)
Three weeks after the due date of the item, the unreturned item will be counted as lost. Late fines still apply in addition to the Lost and processing fees listed.
Renewals may be made:
Books, musical scores, curriculum and youth collections may be renewed once.
Videos and CDs may be renewed twice for a total of 21 days.
Bicycles and equipment may not be renewed.
Material that is counted as lost or damaged is assessed a fee equal to the replacement cost of the item. If the replacement cost cannot be determined, a minimum $20 fee will be assessed.
Return is defined as returning the item in its original form; note that the late fines still apply.
For material marked as lost, the replacement fee will be waived if the item is returned within two months of the lost notification. However, the borrower is still responsible for payment of late fees. Return is defined as returning the item in its original form. These charges must be paid in order to continue circulation privileges and/or to receive transcripts from the college after graduation.
