Inside Kellogg Library’s 3rd floor
Let’s set the scene: It’s the spring semester. Heat waves ripple throughout campus, and you have a gap between classes with nowhere to sit in the shade. You find a spot under a tree, but don’t want to sit directly on the ground. Defeated, you walk away.
For the upcoming holiday closures. Resource sharing/CSU+ requests received after December 19th will not be processed until early January.
If you have any questions, please email ill@csusm.edu or visit our FAQ page.
Thank you
Beginning in fall 2025, Kellogg Library’s operating hours will be adjusted to the following schedule:
Do you have ideas for the University Library? The University Library Student Advisory Board (SAB) membership applications for AY 2026-27 are now open! This group meets with library faculty and staff and provides meaningful feedback and ideas to benefit the student community. Open to students in all majors and all years!
Forgot something at home? The Library has got you covered. Visit our new re-designed library equipment page to see our entire list of equipment available for checkout! We’ve added new items and can help you find what you need. Not only can you view the various types of equipment, but you can also see how many of each item are currently available.
Are you teaching a class that doesn't require students to purchase any textbooks or course materials?
If so, please report your Zero Cost Course Materials (ZCCM) courses to the CALM Team. You can submit your courses by emailing calm@csusm.edu or using the ZCCM Reporting Form.
What is considered ZCCM?
The Reading Room is located in KEL 5400 and provides a quiet study space for all students during library hours. This space can also be used as a venue to host events.
For more information, read the policies of this room and others.
