Borrowing items

Welcome to Seattle University! Lemieux Library is excited to offer services to Cornish students. The Cornish Library’s collections, databases, and services will continue to be available while the collections migrate into SU’s system over the course of this academic year. Your student ID card will allow you to check out material and grant you access to Lemieux’s 24/7 Reading Rooms and Computer Labs.  

Lemieux offers students access to a wide variety of materials including physical and electronic items, and various kits and technology items. Items not owned by Seattle University can be requested at no cost through Summit or Interlibrary Loan. For a detailed list of items, loan times, and policies please see the Borrowing Policy.
