The Libraries:
The libraries typically do NOT purchase textbooks, although often instructors put items on reserves which you can use within the library, Ask your instructor or search the library catalog for the title. The library has items you can borrow with your college ID or community user card. This includes books, magazines, journals, online items, videos, children's books, etc.
