Library Borrowing

Community welcome

Although the primary purpose of the library is to serve students, faculty, and staff of SBC and SCHS, we welcome people from the community and surrounding areas to use its many resources. Community patrons are charged an annual membership fee of $10.00.

Loan periods

  • Books, CDs 3 weeks
  • DVDs, videos 1 week
  • Periodicals 3 days
  • Faculty, staff 2 months

Fines are charged on overdue items at the rate of 25c per item per day. Items which have not been requested by someone else may be renewed at the circulation desk, by phone, or by email.

Lost items

Patrons will be charged the replacement cost of lost items and a processing fee of $10.00 per item.

Reciprocal agreements

Reciprocal borrowing privileges have been arranged with the libraries of Booth College, Canadian Mennonite University (CMU), and Providence College. SBC students need to present a valid SBC student card to use these libraries.

Interlibrary loans

Faculty and students of SBC and SCHS are welcome to request interlibrary loan service for books and periodicals not available in our library. Submit your request to one of the library staff. Allow 2-3 days for periodical articles and 1-2 weeks for books
