Using the Library: Borrowing & Returning

Borrowing & Returning

SMCCD Students, Faculty & Staff

All current SMCCCD students, faculty, and staff have library accounts that allow them to check out items from the CSM Library using their ID/G#.  Technology is also available for student check out.


Community Members & Alumni

Non-SMCCCD affiliated users can get a free Community Member account to check out items. Learn about getting a Community Member card.


Returning CSM Library Items

Books can be returned inside the library, dropped in outside book drops located in the round about near Building 5 and in front of the library (Building 9), or returned to a PLS library. There are no fines or late fees for regular overdue items; lost or damaged materials may accumulate fees. Check your OneSearch account to see what items you currently have checked out
