In-Library Use of Materials
Most of the Cal Poly Humboldt Library bookstacks are open to the public, and the online catalog, OneSearch, which contains access information for most of the resources housed in the Library, may be searched from any location on or off-campus. In-library use of most materials does not require a Library ID card. Use of some protected collections, including Print Reserves and the special Case collection, requires either a Library ID card or a photo ID such as a driver license. You must have a Library ID card to view videos and DVDs and to listen to CDs in the Library's Media Resources Area.
Library ID Card
To check out books and other circulating materials, you must have a Library ID card made at the Front Desk. Employees of the University and its auxiliaries, regardless of time base; and emeritus staff are eligible for a card.
Loan Periods
Loan periods for books and other materials vary

In addition to presentations and poetry readings that are scheduled throughout the year, the Cal Poly Humboldt Library hosts annual events that everyone is invited to attend and participate.
