Q. Why doesn’t the library have a copy of the textbook for my class?

The library has some book titles used in various courses. It is at the discretion of the professor of the course to request the required text to be in the library. Textbooks or books used in classes are kept behind the service desk and can be used in the library. The checkout period is 2 hours. 

If the library does not have a text you can inquire with the course instructor about requesting it be in the library.
