Course Reserves

As always, the first couple of weeks at the beginning of the semester are pretty hectic! We hope most of you finally have all your textbooks, and if you don't--we may have it here for you on the Reserve Shelf.

Things to Remember:

(1) All you need is a photo I.D. (HPU Unicard or License/State I.D.)

(2) We swap your I.D. for the Reserve book & will keep your I.D. until you bring the Reserve back.

(3) There is no set time limit on how long you keep a Reserve, as long as it does not leave the library, & it comes back to the Circ Desk by closing time! (but please be considerate of your fellow classmates!)

(4) Anyone who removes a Reserve will be charged $3.00 everyday it is not returned + all the instructors of that course will be notified.

Please remember that the libraries are not responsible for having all textbooks on Reserve & that books on Reserve are books that belong to your instructor or are books that the instructor have collected from the libraries' collection for you. If there is a book that you think should be on Reserve for your class, please ask your instructor if they could put a copy of it on the Reserve Shelf.
