Library cards
Current KCC Photo ID cards are required to check out books and for many other transactions in the LRC. The barcode number on the library card is used as a password for some electronic resources and web resources available off campus.
As a student you can receive a library card for free after presenting verification of registration and a State ID or Drivers License. KCC full-time faculty and staff members also can receive cards for free. The ID Processor is generally located in the LRC except during peak registration times when it is located in Student Services. Anyone needing a KCC Photo ID should inquire at the LRC Circulation Desk.
