James White Library participates in the reciprocal borrowing agreements that allow our students, faculty, and staff in-person borrowing privileges at participating college and university libraries. Reciprocally other participating libraries have the privilege to in-person borrowing from our library. Andrews University eligible library users may request a letter at the JWL Circulation desk that courtesy borrowing be granting them at the participating library.
