Reusable library book bags are available for purchase at the Mardigian Library Circulation Desk for $2.00 each, tax included. The bags are made from non-woven polypropylene, an eco-friendly fabric.

Library customers may now pay their library fines and bills online from the library website. The same online payment system is used by the Cashiers office and several other entities on campus, providing a familiar experience for students who pay various university fees online.

"Students lead very busy lives. The online payment system gives them a convenient and easy alternative to making an extra trip to campus or to the library," said Kathy Irwin, Head of Circulation Services.

To pay online, log in to your library account, view your fines and bills, type in the prompted information, and submit. A receipt may be printed from the web page, and a copy of the receipt will be e-mailed to you.

If a student has a Banner hold, the hold will be released within one business day. If a student needs the hold lifted sooner than that, they may call the Circulation Desk, 313-593-5559, during regular library hours and ask to speak to a supervisor.

This service will also help students who move out of state after graduation or who travel overseas. In the past the only choice they had was to mail in a check, delaying their ability to register or obtain transcripts.

Students may also pay fines in person at the Circulation Desk with cash, a personal check, or a credit card. The library accepts Discover, MasterCard, and Visa.
