Who needs Amazon.com or Barnes & Noble? LINK+ gives you free access to over 6 million books so you can catch up on your summer reading or get a head start on fall!

Got any books you’ve desperately wanted to read for a long time, but didn’t have the time when the semester was in full swing? Or maybe you’re looking for an opportunity to get a head start on the reading for the Fall semester. Either way, LINK+ has you covered. Whether you‘ll be in Azusa, San Diego or Sacramento, try out our expanded LINK+ services this summer.

Let’s review the amazing features of LINK+:

1. Choose from six million unique LINK+ titles. You may receive your book in 3 or 4 days.
2. Try out the new LINK+ ‘Pick Up Anywhere’ feature at a participating LINK+ library near you.
3. The ‘Visiting Patron’ feature means you can check out books at a participating LINK+ library near you.

More about the new LINK+ services:

• The ‘Visiting Patron’ service can be enjoyed at most LINK+ libraries in California and Nevada. Use your APU ID and proof of enrollment to check out books at these libraries. It is best to call in advance before using these libraries. Find out which participating LINK+ library is closest to you here.
• With regard to the Visiting Patron service, note that you cannot check out books in person at several LINK+ libraries including Whittier College, Loyola Marymount University, Occidental College and several others.
• Unless special arrangements are made, Honnold Library at Claremont requests that you call ahead and have the books set aside for you to pick up.
• The ‘Pick Up Anywhere’ service is only available at participating libraries. The complete list is on the LINK+ site.
• Six million titles refers to the number of unique book titles among the LINK+ consortium. The collective number of total copies of all these titles is currently around 18 million.
• For more information on these new services please call the Interlibrary Services department: (626) 815-6000 Ext. 3272

If you are a student who attends classes at one of our Regional Centers, document delivery services for you are described on the off-campus page.
