MCLL Member's Card
Your key to 平特五不中 library and IT (Information Technology) services is your MCLL Member鈥檚 Card, which you can pick up at the MCLL office. Your Member鈥檚 Card, which must be renewed for every Fall and Winter term, shows your permanent 9-digit 平特五不中 ID number and the card鈥檚 expiration date (January 31 for Fall registration, September 30 for Winter). The ID number is important; It鈥檚 your identification for all 平特五不中 services, and it never changes; not even if you skip renewing your membership for a while.
