As a community service, the Houff Library is open to the public free of charge. Access to technology resources and the circulation of library materials requires a BRCC ID or BRCC library card. For more information on acquiring an ID as a student or community member, please see below.
Library materials may be checked out by BRCC students or employees from the Information Desk with a BRCC student/staff ID or other photo identification. A BRCC student ID card or BRCC faculty/staff card (issued by Card Services in G167) serves as a library card.
This includes students and faculty within the dual enrollment program. For more information check out our Dual Enrollment Resource Guide.
For community members (i.e. non-students), the library information desk can issue a free BRCC library card with any form of government issued ID. Persons under 18 will need a legal guardian present to obtain a signature. Community members are allowed to borrow up to 5 books at a time. Books are loaned for 4 weeks.
Community users are welcome to use the library’s desktop computers. Access to desktop computers and the wireless network is available through a temporary guest login available at the Information Desk. Please present your BRCC library card to receive a guest login. Headphones, phone charging cables, and a scanner are also available at the Information Desk.
All community patrons must abide by the VCCS Student-Patron Acceptable Use Agreement and follow all current BRCC campus policies.
