Circulation

The Circulation Desk is located near the Library entrance. Go here to:

  • Register to borrow library materials (be sure to bring your current (University ID card)
  • Check out, renew and return library material
  • Inquire about books you were unable to locate on the shelves (Search and Hold)
  • Request that books which are currently checked out be recalled and held for you when they return (You may also initiate a Recall electronically.)
  • Inquire about lost personal items.



Alternatively, you can use one of the 3 Self-Check stations to check out your own books. Self-check stations are located on 2nd floor at the entrance to the book stacks, on 3rd floor just inside the entrance to the study area, and on the 4th floor at the entrance to the book stacks.

If you need materials not available at CSULB, you have several options.
