Loan Periods
Buffalo State faculty, staff, and students may borrow books, reserve materials, and media items at the Circulation Desk upon presentation of a valid Bengal ID Card. Anyone not affiliated with Buffalo State should visit our Alumni and Visitors page for more information about borrowing privileges. Patrons who check out library materials become responsible for those materials until they are officially checked in again.
