Check-out of library materials is done at the Circulation Desk, which is located near the entrance/exit on the buildings' second (main) floor.

Residents who are not part of UW-Whitewater or the UW System may purchase a Community Borrower Card in order to check out materials.

In addition, the library provides access to the wireless internet and a variety of equipment with the possibility of overnight check-out of laptops.

Formal instruction is provided to classes upon request of faculty and may include topics such as using library catalogs or "discovery" tools, print and licensed online resources such as article databases, resources from the Internet such as government information or digital repositories, and citation.

Reference librarians offer direct, personal assistance to students, university staff, faculty members and community visitors.

In order to check out items patrons must have a loan agreement on file and should not have an excessive amount of fines on their library account.

Students and staff can buy sandwiches, cookies, soup, soda, coffee, hot chocolate, salads, and more at the Food for Thought Café.
