Borrowing/Circulation

If you are in isolation due to a positive COVID test but need library materials, please do the following:

  1. Contact Tutt Library Circulation Department by email () or phone (x6184) with detailed information on what you need. Call numbers from the library catalog are most helpful.
  2. Name another person (friend, roommate, etc.) who you authorize to pick up your books. If you don’t have someone who can help, we can ask Campus Safety to deliver to on-campus residences.
  3. Your books will be checked out to you and put on hold at either the Tutt Library or Music Library Circulation Desk for your designated helper to pick up. If Campus Safety is delivering, allow at least one day for them to deliver.

The Circulation Department is responsible for library card registration, check out, return and renewal of library material, access to items placed on reserve by faculty, reservations for lockers by 4th year students, and assistance with copy machines. Circulation staff will provide assistance in locating items and provide limited research assistance in the absence of a research librarian.

All patrons must have valid identification to check out material. A Colorado College Gold Card is required of students, faculty, staff and dependents. Alumni are issued a Tutt Library identification card. Community Borrowers must have a current public/school library card that is part of the Colorado Libraries Collaborate program.

Library circulation records and other records identifying the names of library patrons are confidential. Such records will not be made available except pursuant to legal process, order or subpoena.
