Things you may need at other libraries:
Some libraries may be closed to public use. Call ahead to find out the rules. Polk State College has reciprocal borrowing with USF or any Florida State University System (SUS) library. This means you can travel to any SUS library and borrow materials. Your official student or employee ID is required. Materials from local private colleges may be acquired through Interlibrary Loan.
Polk State College students or employees choosing to use other libraries should always inquire directly as to the use policies of individual libraries.
