The general public is welcome to visit St. Louis Community College Libraries. During your visit you may use library materials except those on Reserve. If you wish to use one of the public access computers or the College's wifi, library staff can set up a temporary account for you.
Currently enrolled St. Louis Community College students, faculty, and staff can check out circulating materials with a valid St. Louis Community College ID card. Membership in the campus Alumni Association entitles members to courtesy library privileges. Materials reserved for a course may be restricted to students currently enrolled in that course.
Student ID cards can be obtained from the Student Activities Office upon presentation of the current semester fee receipt and one picture ID, such as a driver's license.
Books from the circulating collection check out to students for a 28 day period. Loan periods for other formats vary at Florissant Valley, Forest Park, Meramec, and Wildwood Libraries. Most materials, except reserves, can be renewed up to five times provided there is not a hold on the material. See our Loan Policies page for more information.
You may call the circulation desk at any of the four St. Louis Community College campus libraries or you may renew your checked-out materials online. Simply go to the Library Catalog and click on the "Renew Item/View Record" button. You will be asked to enter your name and College ID number. Now click on the "Submit" button, then click on the "Items checked out" button. You have the choice of renewing all of your materials or just selected items. (Please note that renewals may be blocked because someone else has requested an item or you have already renewed them too many times.)
See our page Borrowing From Other Libraries for information about requesting materials we don't own.
Non-returned materials will be billed at item cost. Return of billed STLCC materials, in good condition, clears all charges.
All four campuses have computers available for use by staff and currently enrolled students with sign on. A limited number of public access computers are available for one hour periods. Those users need to obtain a user name and password at the circulation desk.
We do have laptops available for checkout. Check with your campus circulation desk to find out about laptop loan policies, as they vary from campus to campus. At all campuses, students must present a Higher One ID card to check out a laptop.
All four campuses offer Internet access.
All campus libraries have scanners that are free for student use. Call the circulation desk at your campus for details. See our staff page for contact information.

There are several ways. If you are using an STLCC-issued computer you might have direct access to the databases without another login. The same if you are logged in to Canvas when you open a database link. If you are not logged in to the college network or Canvas, you will need to log in using either your Canvas information or your name and your college ID number and ST. See Connecting from Off Campus for details. A few resources, such as Safari (O'Reilly) e-books and New York Times Digital Subscription, require you to create an account using your college email. Some databases also allow you to create a personal account to save information or use advanced features.
