Locker Rental Policy and Procedures

A limited number of lockers are available in Room 116 of Watzek Library. These lockers are for use by Lewis & Clark students and are available on a semester basis.

Application Procedure for Locker Rental

Applications for rental of lockers in Watzek Library will be accepted in the Library Administrative Office (room 236) between 10am and 4pm, Monday through Friday. Applications will then be screened and approved on a priority basis that is outlined in the rental policy below. Renter must complete, sign and submit a contract at the time of rental. A non-refundable rental fee of $5.00 each semester, payable by check or in cash, is due at the time rental contract is approved. Checks should be made payable to Lewis & Clark College. A locker and combination lock will be assigned to the renter.

Rental Policy

Lockers are provided in Room 116 of Watzek Library primarily for the storage of library materials that have been checked out. Lockers are available for rental by contract to current students of Lewis & Clark College. Lockers will be distributed on a priority basis as follows:

1. Students with physical disabilities
2. Seniors doing theses
3. Graduate students doing major research
4. Other students engaged in major research activity
5. A small number of lockers will be set aside and held for special circumstances

Priority will be given to applications received prior to the end of the second week of classes in a given semester. Lockers that are still available after the second week of classes will be assigned on a first come/first served basis.

Combination locks supplied by Watzek Library personnel are the only acceptable locks for use. Food or drink should not be stored in the lockers. Signage, stickers, or other materials are not allowed on the lockers. The combination lock must be locked and remain on the locker at the end of the contract period. If the combination lock is missing at the end of this contract period, the renter will be charged for the cost of the lock plus late fees at the rate of $2.00/week. If a locker is not vacated at the end of the contracted date, the locker will be opened and contents removed by Library personnel. Any locker that is not used in compliance with library policy and procedures will void this contract and the locker will be opened and the contents removed. Library materials will be returned to the Library; non-Library materials will be stored in the Library Administration Office for one week and the renter of the locker will be notified to retrieve these materials. After one week the non-Library materials will be disposed of in an appropriate manner. The College assumes no responsibility for the contents of these lockers.
