Why do I Need a Library Account

Your Library Record allows you:

  • see when items are due to be returned
  • renew items you have borrowed
  • view any outstanding fines
  • view your borrowing history
  • reserve /put a hold on an item that someone else has borrowed

Your ID Card

Your Student ID Card is also your Library Card. You will need it to borrow and renew books, and to use print and copy facilities.

You should carry the card with you at all times when you are on campus; you may be ask to produce your ID Card on entry to the library.

Please contact the Card Office (https://aitcard.ait.ie/) if you have any queries about your student card.
