Library

THE LIBRARY'S SERVICE HOURS ARE:

SUNDAYS FROM 10 TO 12:30 P.M.

WEDNESDAYS FROM 5 TO 8 P.M.

 

All other days, the library is open to its patrons with checking out books done on an honor system. Simply sign the library card in the back of each item and leave card(s) in the box at the check out area. Then stamp with the date due stamp on the date due slip in the back of each item. Books may be returned in the receptacle under the book display window at any time.

 

The DUMC Library/Media Center has over 7000 volumes of book and non-book items. Items are loaned for a month. An outside depository for returning items is conveniently located in the hallway under the book display window. An integrated collection that allows all non-book items (audiovisuals) to be shelved along with the books, the library also has a “ready reference” section. If you’re searching for something on Paul, for example, you will find cassettes, video, etc. located with the books on Paul. The History Room is located in the front of the library.
