CSUN students, faculty, and staff can also borrow library books and physical media through its contactless Locker Pickup service. The lockers are located outside of the Library portico, and you are welcome to pick up your items 6:00 a.m. - 10:00 p.m. seven days a week. If you require an accommodation, please contact Library Guest Services at libcirc@csun.edu or call (818) 677-2274.
