Community Borrowers  

To apply for a community borrower card, please fill out and print this form. You will need to bring the form in person to the AMBS Library, along with your photo ID.

You may check out two items from AMBS Library on your first visit. A library card will be created for you after your visit.

There is no fee for the community borrower card.

Community borrowers are encouraged to support library services through regular donations to AMBS.

Donations can be made online at www.ambs.edu/giving

The library collection includes Bible study resources and books on all aspects of ministry as well as videos and sound recordings.

The library has quiet, comfortable and attractive places for study and reflection.

An AMBS Library community borrower card provides remote access to a variety of full text online databases which are linked on the library website.

Church leaders from the local area are invited to use the facility and borrow library materials.

An individual who resides in Indiana, Michigan, Illinois and Ohio may apply for a community borrower card.

Community borrowers may not:

• use seminary computers
• request materials by interlibrary loan, or
• recall materials currently checked out to other patrons.

When a loaned item is seriously overdue or lost, the borrower must pay the item's replacement cost plus a $20 processing fee.

• Four weeks: general stack books, subject to recall after two weeks
• Two weeks: audiovisual materials, children's books, other special materials
• Twenty-four hours: reference books, periodicals

A print-out of due dates may be requested at the check-out counter.
