Check out a book today!

There are several ways to check out a book from the library this year!
All students can check out ebooks and audiobooks from our Sora collection 24/7 to any device from anywhere. Find more information and login instructions on our Read page.

R7 Online students can place a hold on a book from our Library Catalog. You can find instructions on our “Request a Book” page. Once you have placed a hold on the book, you will receive a confirmation email with pick-up instructions. When you are on your way to pick up the book, please call 986-3025, and we will have the book waiting for you in the front office.

Hybrid students can come to the library during your in-person days to check out a book like normal. Hybrid students can also place holds on books when they are at home or at school. When you place a hold on a book using the same instructions as above, you will receive a confirmation email when it is ready to pick up. You can then stop by the library anytime, and the book will be waiting for you with your name on it right inside the entrance on the pick-up cart pictured below.

Finally, remember LS+your student number works as a Mid-Continent Public Library card. Using your student MCPL card you can check out books, ebooks, audiobooks, comic books, stream movies, get live homework help, and more.
