borrowers. Authorized borrowers include currently enrolled PCC
students, currently employed PCC faculty and staff, and other
categories of borrowers as noted in the Circulation Desk procedures
manual. Please bring your current PCC employee card or your driver's
license when you
visit the library. Adjuncts: please ask your
department to contact the library to verify your employment or bring your
current contract or appointment letter with you to the library on your first

happy to set you up in our library management system for borrowing and
database access, but the only way we know you is if you or your
department verifies your employment status. Sorry, but we just don't get the
information any other way.
