Reciprocal Borrowing / Cooperative Library Agreements

Beulah Heights University is a member of GPALS (Georgia’s Private Academic Libraries) and CLC (Christian Library Consortium which is a part of Association of Christian Librarians). Because of these memberships, BHU has a Reciprocal Borrowing Agreements with the members of GPALS and CLC consortiums.

This Reciprocal Borrowing system enables BHU students, currently enrolled (with good standings), to have the library borrowing privilege of print books from other libraries which are members of GPALS and CLC. Besides this, they may also have the privilege of access to their digital and other on-site resources without any cost or fee.

They will be governed by the rules, regulations and policies of the lending libraries. Please check the lending libraries policies with regards to number of book check-outs, length of check-out period, overdue fines, fees etc.
