I can't afford my textbooks. How can I get them another way?
Answer
Almost all textbooks for in-person classes at DCC are available on reserve at the Ritz Library Circulation Desk.
We have neither textbooks for online classes nor Fishkill classes on reserve.
Reserve titles may be borrowed in the library for up to 2 hours at a time.
Current titles on reserve may be found in RitzDiscovery.
Older editions of some textbooks can be found in the main circulating collection. Check with your instructor to find out if you can use an older edition, and if they say yes, you can borrow those books for longer periods of time.
Also, students who qualify for DCC Cares assistance may be eligible to receive funds to put towards the purchase of textbooks.
Please let us know if you would like help searching the library catalog to see if we have the books you need.
