Borrowers

Students, faculty, and staff of King’s University College, Western University,  Huron, Brescia and St. Peter’s Seminary may borrow library material. Alumnifaculty and students from other Canadian universities, and visitors may apply for borrowing privileges.  

A valid Western ONECard, alumni card, Direct or Guest Borrower card, or University ID card from a participating Omni Library is required to borrow materials. Individuals without a valid borrower card may use most materials in the library and may consult library staff for assistance in accessing collections.
