The circulation desk is located on the second floor of Savery Library.

Privileges are granted to all currently enrolled students, faculty, and staff of Talladega College, with a campus ID card.

Alumni and citizens of the community may also check out items with a driver’s license and proof of residence, dated within the past 30 days, with the individual’s name on the item. This will enable the staff to create an account for the individual in our circulation system.

Most of the items in the library circulate, including classrooms and study spaces. However, reference items, textbooks, and archival items do not circulate. 

To renew an item, please call the circulation desk at (256) 761-6284 with your patron account number and the book title(s).

Fines and Fees

Any lost materials should be reported to the library staff as soon as possible. If the book is lost, the individual must pay the current list price of the book. If the book is out-of-print, the current list price will be assessed at $25.00. Amazon.com is the vendor used to determine the current list price for books.

Reserves

Reserve materials are those selected by the faculty for special assignments, or because the materials are in short supply. They are housed behind the circulation desk under the name of the faculty member reserving them. All reserve materials must be used in the library. In case of high demand, use will be limited to two hours.

Non-circulating Items

Reference books, periodicals, newspapers, textbooks, and reserve items may not be checked out or leave the library.
