The Circulation Desk is staffed during all hours of library operation. Library staff and Circulation Assistants are available to help locate materials, check out reserve materials, assist with the operation of library AV equipment, answer directional questions, give library hours, take information on missing items, and circulate library materials. Lost-and-Found items are also kept at the Circulation Desk.

The majority of the materials in the library's collections do not circulate.  Please check with the Circulation Desk staff to see if an item is available to be checked out. Students may check out circulating books or materials for four weeks. Students must present their Wake Forest University ID card when checking out circulating or reserve materials.  All checked out materials should be returned to the Circulation Desk.

The library uses a security system at the entrance to the library.  If the alarm sounds, all materials must be presented to Circulation Desk staff for inspection.  Unauthorized removal of library materials is not permitted.

Currently enrolled students in the Wake Forest School of Law and the Babcock Graduate School of Management have access and borrowing privileges at all of the Wake Forest University libraries.
