This summer, the Library faculty and staff selected the name The Next Chapter, from among several suggestions as the theme for the upcoming Library building addition project.
The University Library, recognized by many as the “intellectual heart of the campus”, currently houses a collection exceeding 3 million items in 205,000 square feet of floor space. The building will undergo a facelift in two phases. Phase I will feature the addition of 135,000 GSF of “people space” that will accommodate increasing enrollment. The addition will address the need to provide state of the art information stations, library instructional spaces, enhanced reading areas, group study rooms, academic lectures spaces, 24-hour study spaces and much more.
Please direct questions or comments regarding the Next Chapter, Library Building Addition Project, to: Andrew Naranjo, Library Addition Project Manager, libaddproj@csupomona.edu.
The Library is now offering more secure, hassle-free options for payment of fines, lost books, etc. Telecheck electronic check acceptance service is now available at Cal Poly Pomona Library Circulation Desk. Credit cards, debit cards (with Visa or MasterCard logo), money orders, or checks are the only acceptable method of payment in the library. Cash will no longer be accepted for payment on any transaction.
You can access the University Library’s subscription databases, electronic books, and electronic journals from off campus by registering for a library PIN number. The PIN will protect you from someone else using your card illegally. If your LIBRARY / BRONCO ACCESS CARD is lost or stolen and is used by someone else, you are LIABLE for the item cost and processing fee of each transaction incurred. Protect your card and create your PIN.
All currently enrolled students are automatically registered with the Library. Faculty and staff who have not yet registered with the Library, will need to come to the Library Circulation Desk to register. Once you have registered, you may create your own library PIN number by using the My Library Account feature from the Library’s home page (http://www.csupomona.edu/~library/).
Once you have created your PIN number, you can access the My Library Account function to check your library activities and to renew books and other functions.
