Students are struggling to buy required textbooks, one of the most important tools for student success at Cal Poly Humboldt. Textbooks aren't cheap; in fact, one textbook can cost as much as $428. The Library's Textbooks on Reserve and eTextbooks provide students with access to the course materials they need to succeed.

Thanks to everyone’s support, we have massively expanded our textbook and eTextbook collections, now covering nearly 80% of all required texts, representing 85% of the courses with reported reserves and 94% of the student enrollments in those courses. If students need textbooks, the Library's Textbooks on Reserve and eTextbooks are here to provide them.

Gifts will help update titles and expand the electronic textbook collection, increasing student access, especially for distance learners. This academic year, nearly $19,000 was invested in expanding the Textbook on Reserves collection. With your help, students will have the essential textbooks necessary to excel in their classes.

We are extremely grateful for your support. Thank you!
