How to Curbside Book Pickup
You are able to check books out (and pick them up) Monday-Thursday, 8am-6:30pm. How?
Once you have the titles of the books you would like to request, call Circulation at (661) 395-4461 OR send your request to a librarian via the library chat (the "Ask Us! tab on the Library home page). Someone from Circulation will call you to arrange a pick-up day and time when your request has been completed.
At the assigned time, pull up to the curb in front of the Library, call Circulation at (661) 395-4461 to let them know you have arrived. Your books will be delivered right to you! Be sure to have photo ID (and a mask).
To return books: drive to the Drop Box in the turn-around-loop between the Library and Administration buildings.
General Collection books may be checked out for 3 weeks, while Reserve books may be checked out for 2 days.
Using OneSearch to Locate Books
Using OneSearch from the Library's homepage allows you to search EVERYTHING the library has access to including books (print and electronic), but also journal articles, and open access sources. Simply click on OneSearch and enter your search!
If you want to specifically look for books/ebooks, you can limit your search by clicking "BC Library Books & eBooks" in your search. (NOTE: there are several other ways to limit your search to books, but this is by far the easiest).
