Emergency Textbook Program

The Emergency Textbook program assists students with emergency book needs.

Library Reserve

The library has established a small collection of the textbooks required for classes. The collection is not all inclusive, and has been assembled with complimentary copies.

Titles can be identified in the online catalog CamCat or students can call or stop by the library.

Textbook Reserve Policies:

  • You need a valid CCC Library card to use reserve materials.
  • A book on textbook reserve may be borrowed at the library service desk for use in the library.
  • The loan period is three hours.
  • Please return the textbook directly to library staff at the service desk. When you check out a textbook, you are responsible for it until it is checked back into the system.
  • There is a $4 overdue fine per hour that is charged to your account if the book is not returned within the three hour loan period.
  • Failure to return a reserve textbook will result in a fine in the amount of the list price of the book plus a processing fee or a replacement copy of the book plus a $50 fine.
