Our entire library collection can be found in OneSearch, our online library catalog. A link to the record in OneSearch is helpful when locating your book!

How do I return my CSU library books?
- You can return your books to any CSU campus library regardless of where you initially checked them out. The CSU libraries have a cooperative agreement ensuring that books will be sent to the appropriate location.
What if I cannot make it to any CSU campus to return my books?
- Please contact the circulation department at your home campus if you are unable to bring your books to any CSU library.
What if I checked out a laptop or some other kind of technology?
- Most CSU Libraries have also extended due dates on laptops and technology, but they will have to be returned directly to the owning campus. Please contact your home library if you have questions.
