Can I suggest a title or genre of books for the collection?

We would love to know what materials you would be interested in having in the collection. Send us your suggestions online with our CPL@CSU Feedback form. We cannot guarantee all items will be added.

Can I be notified when new materials arrive in the collection?

Sure! All you need to do is sign up to receive a list via email or subscribe to the CPL@CSU RSS feed.
