Items that are being held for a particular course are "on reserve" behind the Service Desk.  Some are for in-house use only and others lend for one to seven days.  Search for Course Reserve Materials.

Surface Go Tablets

Tablets are available to borrow for the semester on a first come, first serve basis. You must have a valid CCM ID, must sign a borrowing agreement, and must return the tablet on time and in good condition. Tablets that are damaged or not returned will incur a fine of up to $650.

Please return items promptly, so others may use them, at the Service Desk or the library book drop.  Late fees are 10 cents per day per item with a 7-day grace period on 28-day items.
