I need a Textbook for my class
Answer
Go to the Library catalog to search the library’s collection to see if the library has a copy and what the lending policy is (2-hour, 7-day, 28-day). Check the library website for current hours.
If we don't have a copy that can be checked out, some alternate options may be:
-
Apply to receive free student resources, such as a free laptop, textbook vouchers, food assistance, housing referrals, and more from City Cares.
-
Check our library eBook collection to see if we have a copy.
-
Check book platforms such as BookScouter, RedShelf, Vitalsource or Amazon for low-cost rental or used copies.
- Find out if you are eligible for Book Vouchers (Financial Aid, LACC Foundation, EOPS, etc). These vouchers can be used in the LACC Campus Bookstore to purchase your textbooks.
- Check the Facebook group "Too Broke to Afford Books LACC" or Facebook Marketplace to purchase a used copy from another student.
- Check if the Los Angeles Public Library has a copy that you can borrow.
- Ask your instructor if they have any suggestions.
