Textbook Lending Library
The David P. Bianco Textbook Lending Library is a program where students can check out up to three textbooks 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.
Before the start of the semester, we host priority days where students can be the first to browse through the collection and check out the books. Even after the priority days, textbooks remain. Stop by at any time during the semester to see what is available for you.
