1. How do I get a library card?
Your UNT ID is your library card. Non-UNT users should review the Information for Others.
2. How do I get a library card if I am not affiliated with UNT?
Please read the Information for Others to determine the category you are in and how you obtain a card.
3. What does "my library registration has expired" mean?
Library privileges are given for a semester at a time. This message will appear if a user has not renewed their library privileges.
4. How do I renew my library card?
UNT IDs are automatically renewed as long as a student is enrolled or faculty/staff are currently employed. Courtesy Card holders and unenrolled UNT students will need to come to Circulation to inquire about renewing library privileges.
5. Can I give my ID to someone else to check out books for me?
No, an ID may be used only by the person whose name appears on it.
6. What do I do if I lose my ID?

No, all UNT Libraries are open to the public. Only individuals with current, approved IDs may check out library materials.
8. How do I contact the Circulation Department?
