Have you ever been on campus and had your phone die? Or have you reserved a study room and needed more outlets for your devices? Well, the circulation desk facing Lowry Mall on the first floor of Ellis Library is an awesome resource for finding a solution!
In addition to checking out books, the circulation desk provides many other services, with a popular one being lending equipment. The service caters to a wide range of items from phone chargers to get you through your study session, to laptops if you are in a sudden need of a loaner. Beyond technology, patrons can rent umbrellas on a rainy day to get around campus, and conveniently return them to a closer campus library. Whether you need a camera for class, headphones to listen to music while studying, or office supplies to use in study rooms, the lending feature is a great, FREE resource for all students.
To borrow an item, all you need is your student ID. Show your Mizzou ID to the staff at the circulation desk, and they will let you know the availability of the product and when it should be returned. Pay attention to the due date as items range from hours and days for equipment, and even months for books!
Any questions? Stop by the Ellis Library circulation desk from 7:30 a.m. to Midnight Sunday through Thursday, 7:30 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. on Friday, and 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. on Saturday. Equipment lending is a feature of all the libraries on campus, and unless the item is offered at only a specific location you may return it to the most convenient one. A full list of available equipment and where it can be found is on the library’s website: https://libraryguides.missouri.edu/equipment
