Textbooks on Reserve was established to ensure that every student at Cal Poly Humboldt has the resources they need to thrive from the very first day of class. The cost of course textbooks and instructional materials can be expensive, adding hundreds of dollars to every semester and creating a significant barrier for students and their families.

By providing free, easy access to these essential materials, the library aims to level the playing field and support the extraordinary college experience our students deserve.

And we have been doing excellent work! Thanks to the support of donors like you, the library has acquired 90% of all reported required texts for current courses, offering a robust collection of physical books, eBooks, and digital instructional materials. These resources ensure that students never have to choose between their education and their other essential needs.

This Giving Day, your contribution to the Textbooks on Reserve fund will directly support the purchase of new physical and digital texts—helping the library reach 100% of required course materials. With matching funds available, your gift will go even further to expand access and keep our collection current and responsive to student needs.

Don’t stop at 90%—help us finish the job. Make your gift today and ensure every Humboldt student has what they need to succeed. 💛📖

We are extremely grateful for your support. Thank you!
