Program Reserves
The Library provides program books for short-term checkout. Print copies of these items may be found via Open Reserve, located near the Library's research desk, and may be checked out for two days with no renewals allowed. We may also have e-book copies of materials available.
Check out our course materials guide to see which books we own in which formats.
In addition to the materials available in our collection, Evergreen is also part of Summit, a consortium of academic libraries in Washington, Oregon and Idaho. You may search the Evergreen Library and the 31 members' libraries simultaneously in the library catalog. When you request items online, they usually arrive at Evergreen within three to five business days. Check out is for six weeks with a potential for an additional six weeks renewal. Please note not all program books are available for loan.
