Borrow, Renew, and Request Library Materials 

Borrowing books 

For Prince George & Quesnel Campuses: 

  1. Find the book you want. 

  1. Take it to the Learning Commons service desk. 

  1. They'll check it out for you. You can usually keep it for 3 weeks. If it's a reserved book, you'll have it for a shorter time. 

For Other Campuses: 

  1. Find your book. 

  1. Bring it to the Reception Desk. The staff will write down your details on the book card. 

  1. Done reading? Bring it back to the same place. 

  1. If there's no staff around, don't worry! Just write your details on the card and drop them in the file box. 

Want a book from a different campus? 

  1. Visit the InterLibrary Loans Page to learn more about that service. 

  1. Contact cnclibrary@cnc.bc.ca for additional support.

  1. Go to the library's homepage. 

  1. Click on Classic Catalogue.

  1. Enter your User ID (14-digit library card number) and PIN number (the 4-digit number we provided when you first received your card)

  2. Remember, always log out if you're on a public computer.

Good to know: You can renew regular items up to 4 times. But reserve items can't be renewed. 

Want a book that’s out? 

If a book you want is already checked out, you can ask for it to be held for you. If someone else has it, you can ask for a recall. This means they can't renew it. 

  1. In the Catalogue, see a book that's checked out? Click on PLACE HOLD. 

  1. Fill in your library information.
