Use the navigation links to explore the services available to you: Document Delivery, Books by Mail, Borrowing from Seminary Libraries, and Other Libraries Near You.
Books in the AMBS library general collection can be mailed to AMBS students who are not able to come to campus.
After locating books via the library's "Books" search tab, students may use the "Place hold" button and sign in to the system to request an AMBS library book be delivered to them by mail.
Library materials may be renewed twice for the same time period as the first loan. Renewals may be requested three ways:
Once you have reached your renewal limit, you will need to bring your item back to the library or be billed for it. You may immediately check it out again when you bring it back if there is not another need for it.
The library will not override the system to provide additional renewals when the item is not presented in person. This practice ensures fairness and provides a checkpoint to ensure that the library's materials can be located and remain in good condition.
It is the borrower's responsibility to ensure that materials are safely returned to AMBS.
Please use a delivery service with return or tracking service (US Postal Service Media Mail does not have return service). If books are lost in the mail, borrowers will be asked to pay standard replacement or processing fees.
Borrowers should retain the library's packaging materials to re-use for the return shipment.
