Cal Poly Library Announces Community Borrower Program
SAN LUIS OBISPO – The Robert E. Kennedy Library at Cal Poly is offering a new community borrower program, designed to provide local citizens with improved access to the resources of the Kennedy Library.
Local residents unaffiliated with Cal Poly can obtain a Community User card for an annual fee, enabling them to borrow materials from the Kennedy Library’s collections, including access to print collections, onsite electronic access to databases, and basic reference service. Additional services, such as interlibrary loan requests at $10 per transaction and extended research assistance at $50 per hour, are available.
Annual fees:
- The annual fee for a Community User card is currently $60, with additional cards costing $10 per family member.
- Adults over age 55 and San Luis Obispo County teachers pay $30 per year.
- San Luis Obispo County high school students can receive cards for $10 per year.
- Corporate memberships are available annually for $250 for the first person and $30 for each additional person.
Cuesta College and Hancock College students, visiting academic faculty, and Alumni Association members continue to use library resources free of charge, and anyone is welcome to visit the library whenever it is open. Fees apply only to those who want to be able to check out materials and use library databases onsite.
More information about the new community borrower program is available at: www.lib.calpoly.edu/services/community.
