All borrowers must have a current COS library card, which is renewable each semester.
Applications are available at the circulation desk.
Children under 18 must have written parental permission. Community resident library cards will be renewed without charge if the borrower has not had any overdue materials during the semester for which the card was issued. The COS Library houses more than 50,000 volumes arranged in subject areas by Dewey Decimal classification, and about 180 periodical subscriptions shelved by title on open stacks. Also available are newspapers, pamphlets, college catalogs, telephone directories, plays, maps, and a special reserve collection on local history and the Mount Shasta volcano. CD-ROM and online databases are also available.
