Changes to book borrowing from University of Iowa libraries

The University of Iowa Libraries is pleased to announce a policy change that allows all faculty working at any higher education institution in the state of Iowa to borrow books for one year.

By showing your current Drake Card at the Main Library service desk, Hardin Library for the Health Sciences, or a branch library, you will be issued a borrower’s permit allowing you to check out books for one year. Previously, the loan period was four weeks. Applying for this borrower’s permit can be done online a few days before your visit to Iowa City. The U of Iowa Libraries hope this change in service will allow better use of their collection across the state.
