Library materials may be borrowed from the Denver Seminary Library by bringing the items to the Circulation Desk during library hours along with your student ID. If you need assistance finding items, please ask any of our Circulation Staff at the Circulation Desk.
If you are a current student, faculty and staff and we do not own the item you need, you can request it through Interlibrary Loan .
Items may be renewed online, before the due date, by logging into your account. You can either "Select All" to renew all the items you have out, or you can check the box next to each item you would like to renew and select "RENEW ITEMS".
Renewals may also be requested by email, library.staff@denverseminary.edu, by calling (303) 762-6962, or by bringing proper ID to the Circulation Desk.
You can return your items at any time in one of the book-drops located outside of the library on the north wall of the building and in the Student Center near the library entrance. You can also return your items directly at the Circulation Desk during our hours of operation.
You can only put holds on books that are currently checked out. If a book is available and on the shelf, the system will not allow you to put the book(s) on hold. An email will be sent to you as soon as the book is checked in and available. You can stop by our Circulation Desk during our hours of operation to check the item(s) out.
