Public Access and Use
As an independent institution, Mary Baldwin College provides an
academic library for the use of its students, faculty, and staff.
Other individuals are welcome to visit and use designated library
materials in accordance with library policies. The College reserves
the right to restrict any individual from entering Grafton Library,
or from using any of its materials, equipment, facilities, or services.
Community Borrowers
Members of the Staunton/Augusta community, including local high school students, American Shakespeare Center affiliates, and members of cooperating colleges*, may obtain an MBC library card by filling out an application at the main desk of the library. Beginning in January 2008 there will be no fee to become a community borrower. Community members are allowed to borrow books from the library’s
circulating collection; however, videos, DVDs, reference items, bestsellers, and periodicals are not available for checkout. Use of the library card is restricted
to the person to whom it has been issued. Cardholders are responsible
for all fines and replacement costs for lost or damaged books.

Online Resources
Licensing agreements require that the College limit access to online
resources. These resources are available to current MBC faculty,
staff, and students as well as to students and faculty from
participating VIVA institutions. Other members of the public
may use designated workstations, available on the main and the
mezzanine floors, to consult the library’s online catalog.
Interlibrary Loan
Interlibrary Loan service is restricted to current MBC faculty,
students, and staff. High School faculty requests for interlibrary
loan of AV materials must come through their high school librarian.
Audiovisual Materials
Use of AV materials is available only to current MBC faculty, staff,
and students. Media items and equipment owned by Mary
Baldwin College are used solely in support of Mary Baldwin college
courses and programs or in general support of its academic mission.
The institution is, regrettably, unable to lend or lease its
audiovisual equipment to outside groups or agencies.
