Library Guide for Students

This guide is for students who need guidance on accessing library resources at Moorpark College during the reopening of campus.

Request to Pickup

The Moorpark College Library offers a Request Pickup service for library materials. You may place requests through our library catalog to be picked up at the library during the semester. Semester loans for laptops and Textbook Lending Program books are due by the last day of finals regardless of when the item is checked out during the semester.

We offer pick up times during library hours. Our current hours can be found on the library homepage.

Please wait until you receive an email notice from the library (mclibrary@vcccd.edu) that says your item is ready for pickup otherwise it may not be ready for you when you arrive.

Questions? Please call us at 805-378-1450 or email to mclibrary@vcccd.edu.
