Each subject area or academic department has been assigned to a Library liaison. The librarian assigned to your area will make recommendations for purchase of new materials, oversee periodical availability, and make deselection decisions. Ideally, classroom faculty will work with the librarian in their area to ensure the best-informed decisions regarding library resources and materials. The list of library liaisons for FY2017 is below:

The TexShare program allows you, as a Palo Alto student, to check out books from other libraries that participate in the program. You must obtain a TexShare card from your home library (Palo Alto College) - instructions for getting a card are here:

TexShare Card Information

Note that borrowers must abide by the lending rules established by the individual library being visited, not the circulation policies of the Palo Alto College library.

If you have obtained a TexShare card from another institution and are interested in borrowing materials from Palo Alto, note that you are limited to 4 items, with 1 renewal per item. Overdue materials cannot be renewed.

For more information, contact the Circulation Desk at 486-3555.
