TMC Library (Texas Medical Center Library) — Local services in Houston

A little over a year ago, I received an access card to use this library. I paid a fee and was told I could use the library as much as I want for as long as I want. I recently came back to library only to find out my access card to the library was no longer valid. The assistant at the circulation desk told me she had to take my card if I wasn't going to renew. I was disconcerted by this, as I was under a different impression from what was communicated to me previously. Unsure if i should sure renew at that moment, I let her take the card. What she failed to mention as she took my card, was that if I didn't renew at that moment while the card was mine, I would have VERY limited access to the library in the future.
