Guest Card Policy

The primary clientele of Reinert-Alumni Memorial Library are the students, faculty and staff of Creighton University. In some instances, the Library may allow patrons unaffiliated with the University to apply for a borrowing card, including:

Alumni and retirees of Creighton University
Students and faculty from other Nebraska colleges and universities
Clergy who serve in the metropolitan Omaha area
Visiting clergy or scholars with a Creighton host or affiliation

Visitors who are not from one of the groups listed above may also apply for a guest borrower's card. However, approval is generally limited and granted at the discretion of the Head of Access Services. Please note that guest cards are not made available to spouses or dependents of Creighton employees unless they meet one of the criterion above.

Application may be made at any time, although processing will be faster during regular hours: Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m.

Alumni can only have 10 items checked out at one time, and other guest borrowers can only have 5 items checked out at one time. Alumni and other guests cannot renew library materials. Refer to the Circulation Policies page for further information concerning due dates, fines, and processing fees.

Questions about the guest card policy can be directed to any full-time member of the Access Services Department at 280-2260.
