New Library Policies
Drink Policy
The Library has made some changes regarding polices concerning the use of closed container drink bottles and coffee mugs. Patrons of the library may now bring in drink bottles with lids and coffee mugs with closed tops. These items are welcome only in certain restricted areas of the Library. They are NOT allowed in the stacks. When in the computer lab or AV Auditorium the drink containers must be kept away from the electrical equipment and on the floor with the tops closed. We appreciate your cooperation as we implement the new policy. If you have any questions or need further explanation as to what is an “acceptable” container you can look at the display which is located under the window in the Lobby of the library or on the Library website in our Policy Handbook in Section 1.E Food, Drink, and Tobacco Products.
Late fines/ Book Checkout
The new book fine for books returned after the date stamped on the Due Date card is 25¢ per book per day. Please be sure to check the Due Date and return items promptly. Wingate University Students are now allowed to have a max of 12 books checked out to their account at one time. FOL members are allowed to have a max of 6 items checked out to their account at any one time.

A Change in Library Procedure
Videos, DVD’s, CD’s and other multimedia items have always been available for Faculty to peruse freely in the Closed Stacks. Unfortunately, the Library has suffered many disappearances of these items over the past few years. In an effort to track usage of these items and traffic, a secure area has been constructed to house all Videos, DVD’s, etc. A Library Staff member will be happy to open the area and retrieve an item or assist you in locating one. Call numbers will be very useful from this point forward. Thank you.
