It is possible, and encouraged, to share books from the Bethlehem ("Main") and Monroe Campuses!
If your campus does not have a book that you want, but the other campus does, just visit your library's Circulation Desk. Give them the title of the book that you want, and ask them to send it to your campus. As long as the book is availabile, it should be mailed to your campus library within a couple of days. You can then check it out with your NCC student ID card!
