CHECK IT OUT: More than books

Check it out: more than books

You probably already know you can check out music, movies, and passkeys for individual quiet study cubicles at the library. But did you know we also have phone charging cables, white board markers, educational toys, virtual reality headsets and video equipment to check out?

We're adding more and more non-book items to our collection to help you learn, work, create, and succeed. As our collection of "things" continues to grow, you’ll find interesting new tools and materials to help with your coursework and to make your life easier.

Everything on this partial list may be checked out by any CSU student with a current ID card currently enrolled in classes. Circulation times range from an hour or two to several weeks.
