The circulating book collection (books that may be taken out of the library with a valid Molloy ID card) are located in the stack rooms within the James E. Tobin Library on the main campus in Rockville Centre. The primary Patron Service point is in the main Reference Area of the library (the front desk upon entering the library).
There is no charge to use circulating collections (books and media); however there are fees for circulating materials that are not returned. Any fees associated with materials not returned to the library are the responsibility of the cardholder.
The circulating collections are available to faculty members, students, administrators and staff of Molloy University.
These materials can be found in the Molloy Catalog and are shelved by Library of Congress call numbers.
Access to Circulating Collections
A valid Molloy ID card is required to check out any circulating material. Patrons without a Molloy ID card will be asked to provide information to verify they have an active library account. If a patron is not in the library system, they will not be permitted to take books out of the library.
ID cards may be obtained at Public Safety, 516.323.3500.
The loan and renewal periods for books are defined in the table below by patron type. Books may be renewed in person at the Patron Services desk, over the phone by calling 516.323.3913, or online through JETfind. If a book has been requested by another patron, it cannot be renewed and should be returned to the library on or before the due date.
