University of North Carolina-Chapel Hill Faculty, Staff, and Students must present their valid UNC One Card in order to borrow materials from Davis Library.
All other patrons wishing to check out materials from any UNC Academic Affairs Library should apply for a Borrower's card at the Davis Circulation Department.
If you have any questions about Borrower's Cards, please contact Jonathan Truesdale.
Requirements for obtaining a Borrower's Card:
There is a $25.00 annual renewal fee, and a $5.00 fee for replacing lost cards.
State residents who purchase a card are limited to a total of five books checked out at any one time for the first year they have the borrower's card. After one year of problem-free borrowing the limit on the number of items checked out may be lifted when the card is renewed for a second year.
Current members of the General Alumni Association, Friends of the Library and spouses/partners of current UNC faculty and staff may obtain a borrower's card at no charge by presenting proof of their status upon application.
Faculty, students, and staff of North Carolina's Community Colleges may also obtain a borrower's card at no charge. A photo ID and proof of current affiliation is required upon application.
Note: All Borrower's Cards Are Non-Transferable.
Materials borrowed from Davis Library have a loan period that is determined by the patron's borrower status. These loan periods may be extended by renewing the materials online or in person. Click here to learn more about loan policies and renewals.
