Daytona Beach Community College Library

Checking out materials/ Circulation

The library circulates books (2 weeks) Students must have a DBCC or UCF student I.D. card to check out materials. Faculty and staff should also present their DBCC employee identification card when checking out materials. The fine for overdue materials for students is 25 cents per item per day. Outstanding fines can prevent students from registering, getting transcripts, or graduating. Please make sure your students are aware of the above information or it might result in them having a very bad day. Students, faculty, and staff can also borrow materials from the University of Central Florida through our cooperatieve use agreement. For more information on circulation please call Katheleene Bryan at ext. 3521.
