Services for Students - Borrowing

Library Card

Your Langara Student ID card is all you need to get a library card. Visit us at the Check-Out Desk on the 1st floor of the library with your Langara Student ID, to have your account activated.

If you need to use library materials before you have your Langara Student ID card, you may use any piece of photo ID to access your account, or we can issue you a temporary Library Card.

Don't forget to have your Langara Student ID card updated, as it expires every August. To do this, go to the Check-Out Desk and we will issue you a new expiry date sticker (make sure you bring your Langara Student ID card with you).

You can obtain your Langara Student ID card from Instructional Media Services.
