Spouse and Significant Other Borrowing Privileges

Did you know that UM faculty and staff may request an MLibrary card for their spouse or significant other? It's true! With this MLibrary card, the borrowing privileges are good for one year (or for the duration of the faculty/staff appointment, if less than one year), and the loan period is typically three weeks.
