Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the Library will in some circumstances mail books to fully online students. Our policy is:

• The student lives in the state of South Carolina. 
• Book/s must be from our circulating collection and eligible to be borrowed for a full semester.
• Item/s cannot be currently on reserve, in Reference, a DVD or LP – books only.
• We cannot mail PASCAL or ILL items that belong to other libraries.
• The student is fully responsible for the cost of mailing book/s back to the Library or returning in person by the due date. Traceable mail service recommended for any books returned by mail.

To request a home delivery, email library@lander.edu with your L number, mailing address, and a link to the book’s record in Bearcat Search.
