Thank you for your interest in the Textbook Lending Program. To see if we have any of your course required textbooks, search by keyword, title, or subject followed by "textbook lending" in our library catalog.
In addition to textbooks, we also have calculators! We have TI-84 graphing and TI-34 scientific models available for semester-length loan.
How to Get Your Textbook
Please ask at the Circulation Desk if you need any help finding a textbook or calculator. If we do not have a book in the collection, we may have a copy on Reserve for in-library use.
We offer Hold Pickup for our Textbook Lending materials! Place a request through the library catalog. Once your item is ready you will receive a notice with important pickup information. We have step-by-step guides and videos of the process on our Library Guide for Students.
These textbooks check out only for the semester; they cannot be checked out ahead of time for the next semester. Loans for the semester can be checked out starting the first day of instruction. You may start placing requests no more than a week in advance to pick up once instruction begins, but keep in mind that we only hold items for seven days.
