yes, you can check out bound journals for three days. unbound journals do not freely circulate as they must be guarded carefully prior to being bound with their brethren.

can i make copies in Sprague?
you can make copies in Sprague using the public photocopier located on the north side of the first floor. the machine takes both cash and copy cards, and costs 8 cents a copy.
to get a copy card, use the box on the wall above the copier or purchase one at the copy center at Honnold/Mudd. cards cost 50 cents, and are good at every library.
