​Frequently Asked Questions

Where do I get my Library Card?

  • Your Student ID Card or Employee ID Card acts as your library card.
  • ID/Library cards are issued at the Coyote Center on the Pecos Campus and the Williams campus, Public Safety in Bluford Hall.
  • Library cards are required to check out materials from the CGCC libraries including reserve materials.
Your ID/library card will also allow you to check out items from the other Maricopa Community College Libraries.

How do I log into library resources from off campus?
