Other library service options:

MBC has cooperative library agreements allowing students to check out materials from other libraries using an MBC I.D. The check out policies of the lending institution apply.

Institutions supporting these agreements include:

  • Blue Ridge Community College
  • Bridgewater College
  • Eastern Mennonite University
  • Shenandoah University
  • Washington and Lee University

In addition, ADP students at PVCC and Roanoke may use the libraries associated with these regional centers.

All MBC students may check out books from the Staunton Public Library with their MBC ID.

Most of the community colleges and public universities in Virginia extend borrowing and use privileges to all citizens of the Commonwealth. Use of electronic material may be restricted to currently enrolled students, but general use of the library and photocopy services on site is allowed. If you are a current Virginia public library user, you may use your public library number to access resources at http://www.finditva.com
