Borrowing Information

Registering to Borrow

All USQ students (internal, external and visiting) need to take their student ID cards to the USQ Library information desk to register as a USQ member. If you do not have a student ID card, you will need to produce your enrolment papers.

If you are already a member of the Hervey Bay Library you are advised to have your membership changed to USQ student/staff on commencement of your studies/employment. Simply bring along proof of enrolment/employment and/or your USQ ID Card so your membership can be updated.

Students and staff use their ID card for borrowing.
