Q. How do I find books in the library?

The easiest way to locate books in the APU Libraries is to search the APU Library Catalog. You can search the catalog by keyword, title, author, or subject.

Once you find a title you're interested in, click "Request" and choose a pickup location. You'll get an email when your book is ready to pick up (normally within one business day; holds are not processed on weekends).

Alternatively, you can write down the book's location and call number, and visit the library in person to get the book off the shelf. Circulation staff can help you locate the item if necessary. Be sure to check our library hours before planning a trip!

Checkout periods and policies are described on our website.
