When you need a library card

A Truxal library card is required to borrow hard-copy materials from the library, including books, media, interlibrary loans, and other physical items (anatomy models, webcams, calculators, etc.).

If you don't have a MyAACC login, you can also use your library card number to access online resources.

If you only need online resources, you can use your MyAACC login for access. A library card is not required for students, faculty, and staff to access databases, e-books, and other digital materials.

Get a Truxal library card

Visit the circulation desk to sign up for a Truxal library card. Please bring a valid, government-issued ID showing your current address, or a government-issued photo ID plus proof of current address. Some possible forms of identification are a Maryland driver's license, MVA identification card, military ID, or a passport.

Don't come to Arnold? Apply for a library card online

Students, faculty, and staff who attend classes or work at AMIL, GBTC, or HCAT are eligible to have certain library materials delivered to those sites. Before placing your first delivery request, you must complete the online library card application. Please allow up to 1 business day for your request to be processed. Your library card number will be sent to your AACC email address (not your Canvas inbox), which will allow you to submit delivery requests. You'll receive your Truxal library card in the mail.
