Library Borrowing
Who Can Borrow?
Current Cañada College (or SMCCD) students, faculty, or staff, automatically have
a free college library account that can be used to borrow materials and access collections
at the college libraries. You don't need a physical card beyond your College ID and/or
your G number in order to borrow materials.
Other San Mateo County residents or Cañada College community members are also eligible
for a library account that permits borrowing. Visit our library account info page to learn more.
