Thank You Student Workers!

Memorial Library depends upon our Student Workers for our service to the SUNY Cortland Community. During the COVID-19 crisis, we have depended upon them more than ever.

We would like to salute all of the Students who have assisted us during the past year. Without their help, many of the services that we offer would have been limited so THANK YOU!

We would also like to recognize those who will be graduating and leaving us soon for a much wider world. Congratulations and Good Luck!!!

Return Your Library Materials

ILL Books

Here are the ways to return your library materials whether you are on campus or away from campus.

  • All outstanding book loans can be returned using the bookdrop located just outside the front entrance.
  • Books can be returned to other SUNY campuses if they have a bookdrop available.
  • If you are not on campus for the semester (or have other concerns) please send an email to library@cortland.edu to discuss your specific situation, including fines on overdue notices.
  • Items that are returned (particularly ILL items) will not come off your account until we are able to process them. You will not be fined for late items in this circumstance.
