The Circulation Services desk is located on the first floor of Carrier Library.
Checking out books
Books are checked out by JMU students, faculty, and staff using their University ID (JAC). The public is welcome to use Carrier Library’s resources, but must meet established criteria before checking out books.
Returning Books
All library materials may be returned to any JMU Library location during operating hours. Books and media from any JMU Library may also be returned at any time via the drive-up book depository near East Campus Library, located on Alumni Drive. When the Libraries are closed, books may also be returned via Carrier Library's outside depository located near the end of the building to the left of the glass entrance.
Renewing Books
Books may be renewed by accessing "My LEO", by e-mail to library-circulation@jmu.edu, by calling 568-6150 during open hours, or by bringing proper identification to the Public Services Desk.
Requesting / Holding Books
Books currently checked-out may be requested by another borrower who has proper identification. Place "hold requests" through LEO.
