Q. Can alumni check out books?

Yes, if you are a current Alumni Association member your Alumni Association card functions as a library card and allows you to check out materials. Alternatively, if you are a resident of Whatcom County you can also get a free card for checkouts through the Whatcom Connections program (also called the Whatcom One Card program). Please note, due to our contractual obligations we cannot allow off-campus access to databases at this time and access is not included with Courtesy Cards.
