Can I borrow books on behalf of someone else? using their library card?

At Robarts and  Gerstein libraries, on an exceptional basis, you can borrow on someone else's behalf if you bring with you a legible note from the authorized borrower/owner of the library card and the card itself.  Both the letter and the  card must be shown when you sign out the books in this way.

In other libraries, please check with the local check out desk staff.
