Library Privileges for Alumni
Alumni are permitted to borrow regular loan materials and are limited to 5 items at one time. Alumni are not permitted to borrow short-term loan items, to recall items on loan, or to use the Interlibrary Loan Services.
Library material may be returned to the A.P. Mahoney Library Service Desk, or to any Affiliate University College Library or Western Library. The library at St. Peter's Seminary does not have an after-hour book drop. The closest book drop is located outside of the Cardinal Carter Library at King's University College.
Library Card
Your Western alumni card is your library card. To set up a borrower account, present it, with one other piece of photo ID, to the staff at the Service Desk.
To request an alumni card, please contact the Department of Alumni Relations and Development by calling 1-800-258-6896 or (519) 661-2199, or email alumni@uwo.ca.
