Got Textbooks?


Send us a copy to checkout to students!


·       During the 2017-2018 school year we checked out 170 textbooks over 1,252 times – a 42% increase from the year before.
·       The need is greatest during the first few weeks of classes.
·       We see requests throughout the semester for texts, including courses that are not located at the Business Education Center.
·       You can search for textbooks by instructor last name, course name, course number, or title by searching the catalog.
·       For a quick, 30 second tutorial on how to check to see if we have your textbook you can view this video.

Why do students check them out from the library?

·       They are waiting for delivery for their purchased copies.
·       The bookstore is out of stock.
·       Their textbook becomes lost or stolen.
·       They forget their copy at home.
·       They might not be able to afford their own copy.
·       They might have extra time between classes to get ahead and they don’t have their textbook with them.
