Borrow

Books & General Collection Items

You will need your PCC LancerCard with you in order to check out materials. 

As a current PCC employee, you can borrow up to 25 items at a time. Books are checked out to you for the entire semester, excluding items from Instructor Reserves. Periodicals and DVDs are due back in seven days. All library materials are due on the last day of the term.

If an item is lost or damaged, you are obligated to pay the replacement cost for the item.

You can get information about your library account, due dates, and borrowing privileges in any of the following ways:

Media Reserves and Equipment

The library has media equipment, including DVD players, monitors, LCD projectors and easels (not including flip charts) available for faculty and staff to reserve.

Media equipment can be delivered or picked up by prior arrangement during library open hours. Please reserve equipment five business days in advance to guarantee availability. Contact mediacenter@pasadena.edu or call (626) 585-7057 for information and to reserve equipment.

Reciprocal Borrowing

As a PCC employee, you can check books out from the Cal State LA Library and Glendale Community College Library. All public libraries have universal borrowing policies, which means anyone can obtain a card.

Interlibrary Loan

If an item is not available in our vicinity, you can request it through Interlibrary Loan (ILL). Fill out an ILL form at the Reference Desk or submit the online Interlibrary Loan Form. Contact Lauren Bauer at (626) 585-3309 if you have additional questions about ILL.
