The collection of the Dr. Frank A. Franco Library Learning Center on the Alvernia University main campus in Reading is available to you as a distance education student.
Materials available at Alvernia will be sent to the Philadelphia Center or Schuylkill Center. Please allow a few days for delivery.
When we need to request your materials from other libraries because Alvernia does not own them, we need extra time to receive the materials and then forward them to you. In order to ensure that you receive any requested material in time to support your projects, please allow at least two to three weeks.
In both cases, materials will be sent to the Philadelphia Center or Schuylkill Center. You are responsible to return the materials on time.
Alvernia Items
You can view your checked out items and renew them by logging into your patron account in the Library One Search database. Any materials checked out will be accessible by clicking My Loans at the top left of the page.
Interlibrary Loan Items
Renewals from other libraries are permitted only at the discretion of the lending library. If you need to renew an Interlibrary Loan item, please contact Alvernia's Interlibrary Loan Staff directly several days before your item is due.
