To borrow materials from the Al Harris Library, we ask that all current SWOSU students, staff and faculty produce a valid photo ID.
Persons who are not affiliated with SWOSU and age 18 or older may obtain a public borrower's permit at the library circulation desk by presenting a valid Oklahoma driver's license or other valid Oklahoma photo identification.
Faculty, staff, and students from OK-Share member institutions may borrow materials from the SWOSU Libraries with an OK-Share courtesy card. For more information about OK-Share and a directory of OK-Share member institutions, see the OK-Share page.
Call the library at (580)774-3730 (Weatherford) or (580)774-2157 (Sayre) if you have questions about your account.
