The library houses many collections which have different policies and procedures due to the nature of the specific collection and the population(s) served.

All students and employees of Kutztown University receive borrowing privileges at the Rohrbach Library. In addition, library cards are issued to all adult citizens of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, who are not registered students or employees of Kutztown University. Patrons need one of two cards to borrow materials from the library, either the Rohrbach Library card, or the Kutztown University Photo ID.

Rohrbach Library Card

All external patrons of the library can be issued, free of charge, a Rohrbach Library card. This card is gold in color, and displays the user's name, a bar code, and a 14 digit user ID that begins with the sequence 20506. Primarily, this card allows patrons to charge out materials from the main collection.

Kutztown University Photo Identification Card

The Kutztown University Photo Identification Card functions as the library card for Kutztown employees and students. The user ID number is the 16 digit number at the bottom of the card that begins with the sequence 62200100.

As of fall 2000, there is no charge for the ID for KU employees and those students who have paid the Orientation Fee. The replacement fee for a lost ID is also $15.00.ID's are issued in the Student Union Building or at Public Safety.
