Partner Libraries
The APU Libraries have made a number of cooperative agreements to allow APU students, faculty, and staff to borrow materials from other academic and public libraries.
LINK+
LINK+ is a cooperative arrangement between 40 public and academic libraries in California and Nevada. It allows students, faculty, and staff from member libraries to electronically request an item not available in their own library, and to have that item delivered to their own library for check-out within 2 to 4 business days. APU will mail the book directly to Regional Center requestors. For more information about LINK+ and to access the LINK+ catalog, click here.
