Use the WSU Library Catalog to search for books and eBooks
Due to the pandemic, to check out materials, place a hold using the Libraries’ online catalog. The process is designed to provide contactless checkout of your materials.
Materials will be paged every two hours during our hours of operation and you will be notified by email when your holds are ready.
To pick up your holds, please stop at the Circulation Desk in Ablah Library. Your materials will be held in a locker adjacent to the desk.
Note: If you are working or attending courses remotely and need to have materials mailed to you, contact Interlibrary Loan. We will mail books to you as needed. You are responsible for returning the items via mail.
