Having fun isn't hard when you've got a library card! 

If you are an SU borrower, then your Gull Card works as your library card. Your library bar code is the 14 digits found on the back of your Gull Card.

Use your library bar code in many fun ways:

Borrow books from our circulating collection

Borrow a laptop/netbook or even an iPad

Borrow materials from other libraries through Interlibrary Loan

Renew items online through My Account

Continue your research (access databases) off campus through Research Port

Any borrower just needs to present their proper ID card to the Circulation Desk to borrow materials. Questions? Ask us.
