Textbook & Equipment Lending Library

The Ventura College Foundation's Textbook & Equipment Lending Program is a partnership with Ventura College's Library and gives students the opportunity to check out textbooks and equipment such as Chrome Books, mobile hotspots, graphing calculators, and webcams to use for an entire semester, at no cost to them.  As resources are limited, these textbooks are checked out on a first-come, first-served basis. Students may also check the library online Library catalog OneSearch, to see if the library has their textbook in the collection.

Books in this collection have the notation "Lending Library" as the shelf location.   Even after semester requests have been filled, oftentimes textbooks and equipment remain. Contact the VC Library at 805-289-6482 or vclibrary@vcccd.edu at any time during the semester to see what is available for you.

Funding is generously provided by the donors and the Board of Directors of the Ventura College Foundation for the VC Foundation's Textbook & Equipment Lending Program.
