For your convenience--when the library is closed

Use either of the two outside book returns, open 24/7:

  • Polk mall front entrance -- on the right
  • Elmwood Street courtyard

Just look for the large red signs

Faculty Time Saver requires one easy step

Busy instructors who want to save research time can authorize someone to pick up library items, including InterLibrary Loans, with one easy step:

Print and fill out the Proxy Patron Authorization form below and send to Polk Circulation. http://www.uwosh.edu/library/pdf/proxypatron.pdf

Filling out one form this year will prompt the Circulation staff to send you a reminder next year.
This form is also found on the Library home page by clicking on the ‘online forms’ link. http://www.uwosh.edu/library/forms.html

Without this form your items cannot be picked up by anyone else.
