First, are you looking to purchase or pick up a copy of your textbook to keep or rent all semester? If so, you'll need to contact the CWI Bookstore. If you'd like to use a library copy of your textbook instead, read on.
We have many course textbooks available for use in the library! They're one of our most popular items, which means we have to keep them on a restricted checkout period. At the Nampa Campus Library, textbooks cannot leave the library because we want to make sure everyone can use them throughout the semester. At the Ada Library, we'll allow them to check out for 30 minutes, so students can take them to the copy machine to make copies of short sections they need.
You can search for the title of your textbooks in our book search to find out what we currently have available or search for your class on the course reserves page to see what books we have and what is required for your class. If we don't have the textbook you're looking for, use our Request It form and we may be able to purchase it and make it available at the library.
