Q. Does the library have the required textbooks for my classes?

Selected textbooks are given to the library by instructors and are placed on reserve in the Bedford and Lowell campus libraries. Textbooks placed on reserve generally must be used in the library, have shortened loan periods and higher fines. Search the reserve catalog to find out if we have your text. If not found, a library staff member can help you determine if an older edition is available. If not found in the library you may want to discuss with your instructor if a copy can be added.  The bookstores in Bedford and  Lowell have copies available to purchase and rent. Failure to return reserve materials can result in a library hold on your student record. Students with holds will be prevented from receiving grades or getting transcripts.
