Equipment

All equipment at the Library (LCD projectors, camcorders, microphones, etc.) can be booked in advance by students, faculty, and staff. See our Equipment page for full details on what is available and how to book equipment online.

Lockers and Carrels

Lockers are available to all students, faculty, and staff. The keys can be checked out for a semester at a time.

See Library lockers and study carrel guidelines.

Renewing Items

Most material borrowed from the library can be renewed, often multiple times. To renew an item, login to LibrarySearch with your Middlebury credentials. Please note that renewing only works if done before an item is overdue.

Returns

Material can be returned to the Circulation Desk in the Davis Family Library. If the library is closed, materials can be returned in a drop box:
