In addition, any adult resident Virginia may purchase a library card at a cost of $25 for the first year and $10 per year thereafter. A current driver's license or photo ID must be presented at the Information Desk when applying.
A Randolph-Macon College ID or current library card is required for every borrowing transaction.

Students are allowed two renewals through My Library Account (our catalog); for additional renewals, come to the library Information Desk. Community users are allowed one renewal which must be done in person or call the Information Desk at (804) 752-7257. Items with holds on them cannot be renewed. To renew interlibrary loan materials, see Interlibrary Loan.
Patrons may place a hold on items that are currently checked out; they will be notified by email when the item is returned, and it will be held at the Information Desk for seven days.
Materials should be returned directly to the Information Desk. If the library is closed materials may be returned to Campus Safety.

McGraw-Page Library circulates overdue notices via email. Notices are a courtesy and failure to receive one does not constitute the waiving of any incurred fines.
Any item that is not returned by Spring Commencement is listed as lost and a replacement charge is automatically assessed. Donated items will not be accepted in lieu of the replacement charge, which covers processing as well as item costs.
Under Virginia state law, library patron records (as well as circulation transactions) are protected as confidential information. We will not disclose any information concerning your library registration or borrowing activities to anyone.
