Your TWU ID card provides you with complimentary library access at a number of post-secondary institutions across Canada. British Columbia post-secondary institutions that are part of CPSLD allow TWU students to use their valid TWU ID card to borrow items from their libraries. Note that institutions or library branches may change their borrowing requirements, so it's a good idea to contact the library before going. See the Council of Post-Secondary Library Directors Reciprocal Borrowing Policy (CPSLD) for more information. 

For institutions other than those in the CPSLD Reciprocal Borrowing group, i.e., out of province universities, you will need to show a valid TWU ID card and a valid Council of Prairie and Pacific University Libraries (COPPUL) card issued by the Alloway Library. When you show your COPPUL card and your TWU ID card at libraries participating in the Canadian University Reciprocal Borrowing Agreement (CURBA), you will be issued with a library card from that institution and be able to borrow materials, subject to the requirements, restrictions, and fees of that library. 

• Please note that some libraries exclude undergraduate students from the reciprocal agreement.
• Be sure to return your materials on time to the lending library, not to TWU.
• COPPUL cards are issued upon request by Alloway Library staff to TWU faculty, staff, undergraduate and graduate program students with a valid TWU ID card.
• Cards are not issued to individuals with outstanding library fines.

Wireless access falls outside of the reciprocal borrowing agreements. If you will need wireless access, before going, check if the institution has guest logins or if your internet provider has roaming wireless. Usually, wireless access will not give you access to an institution's electronic databases.

NOTE: Institutions may have special restrictions in place for COPPUL borrowers. It's best to telephone before you go to check.
