All Prep students are allowed to take home materials from the Fairfield Prep collection for a period of two weeks. Items may be renewed twice for a period of one week each. The official Prep ID card is needed to check out library materials. Search the Fairfield Prep library collection.

To check out library materials, bring the selected items and your Prep ID to the Circulation Desk. Any Library Services Staff member can assist you in the check-out process.

Fines of $0.25 will be charged for each day a book is overdue.

Lost or stolen books will be replaced by the student. See Director of the Academic Center, Mr. Davis, for the cost of the book plus processing fees.
