Support Student Success Through Free Textbook Access!
Textbook on Reserves Program
Cal Poly Humboldt Library
Access to textbooks and other required readings is essential to student success in our courses. However, that access is not always available, as these items can sometimes be prohibitively expensive for our students to access. Cal Poly Humboldt Library's Textbook on Reserves Program helps to improve student success on campus by providing free, easy access to textbooks and other required readings. Our Course Reserves Collection includes physical books, eBooks, and other course materials available for free check out to students enrolled in those classes. We currently possess 78% of all required texts for the Spring 2025 Semester, but we can get that number higher!
We are now taking requests for Spring 2025 textbooks! Get your requests in soon so you can to ensure your texts are available to students at the beginning of the semester!
Learn more at our Library Reserves Website. We can accept instructor copies, will place books from the Library stacks on reserves, and we can purchase new texts as well, both physical and digital. Now is the time to add texts to our Course Reserves for the upcoming Spring Semester! Get your requests in soon to ensure your texts will be available as early in the semester as possible!
