People who are not currently TAMU-CC students, faculty, or staff can use the library and check out materials. They are referred to as "community users."

Community users (visitors) do not need a card in order to use computers. They may be logged in as guests by library staff. Visit the Circulation Desk to request to be logged in.

Community users may purchase a Community User's Card in order to check out books, DVDs, and government documents. Community users cannot checkout periodicals or books in the popular reading collections. Community users also do not have off-campus access to library databases.

A Community User's Card is valid for one year and can be purchased for $10 dollars at the Circulation Desk. To obtain a Community User card, a valid Driver's License or State ID are required.

Community users cannot be logged in to computers in Computer Lab 1 or 2, nor do they receive Interlibrary Loan privileges. Community users do not have access to the library's group study rooms.
