Q.
What do I need to check out library materials?
A. Your current
student ID card is also your library card. Make sure you have a current
semester student services sticker affixed to the back of the card to
show current proof of enrollment. If you do not have or forget your
student ID, we also accept your printout of classes plus your driver’s
license or California ID.
Q. Who can check out
library materials?
A. Current LBCC
and CSU Long Beach students, faculty, and staff can check out library
materials. Non-students and community members can check out items which
are currently in print by depositing for the amount of the item in cash
plus a $10, all refundable, deposit for each item checked out. Another
option is to obtain a referral from any Long Beach Public Library. There
is a limit of two (2) items per non-LBCC borrower. You need to show
a set of IDs, your public library card and a picture ID to check out.
Q. How many
items can I check out?
A. You can have
up to 20 items on your card. Below is the breakdown of items into categories.
Q. Do you have current textbooks for check out?
A. Current textbooks
are housed in our Reserve Collection. These books used in classes are
left with the library by the instructors for their students. If a current
textbook you need is not in our Reserve Collection, please talk to your
instructor about placing a copy in the Reserve Collection.
Q. Can my library
card be used anywhere else?
A. You can use
your card to check out materials at the LAC library, PCC library, and
CSU Long Beach (CSULB) library. The LBCC library has a reciprocal agreement
with the CSULB library that allows borrowers to check out books and
media. Reserve items, bound periodicals, remote access to electronic
resources, and the library computer labs are not available to reciprocal
LBCC borrowers. Interlibrary Loan, borrowing items outside of our library
system, is available to LBCC students, faculty and staff for items not
in our collection. Please refer to our Interlibrary Loan link.
Q. Where can
I return library materials?
A. Books, pamphlets,
and periodicals checked out at the LAC or PCC library can be returned
at either library. Music CDs, CD-ROMs, Videos, College Catalogs, and
Reserve items are returned to the library that they were initially checked
out from. Items checked out at CSU Long Beach connected to reciprocal
borrowing privilege must be returned at that institution.
Q. How can I
renew library materials?
A. Only books and
pamphlets are renewable. You can renew items in three ways: online,
by phone, and in person. To renew online, access the library web site

select My Record from the top menu and follow the instructions. Be sure
