Information About the Library

How do I get a library card?

How do I login to the library databases?

If you see a box asking for your Borrower ID and PIN: Borrower ID is your 8 digit student ID#. Your PIN is your 8 digit birthdate-MMDDYYYY.

Do you have textbooks?

Occasionally, instructors will place textbooks on Reserve at the front desk for students to use in the Library. They can be checked out for two hours at a time. Otherwise, we do not carry current textbooks.

Are children allowed in the Library?

Children supervised by a parent or adult caregiver are welcome in the library. The Family Friendly Study Space has a student computer, a children’s computer with no internet access, two iPads, movies, puzzles, blocks, books, and more to entertain little ones. Study rooms are available for caregivers who wish to supervise their children in a more contained space. Children may not be left alone or allowed to use library computers.

The book I need is checked out. Can I put it on hold?

Yes, you can place a hold on an item that is checked out by logging in to your library account. We will then send an email to you when it is ready to pick up.

Students and staff may request books through interlibrary loan. UBorrow searches the libraries of all 40 state colleges and universities in Florida. Login with your library Borrower ID and PIN, and we will email you when the item is available.
