A free lending library is open for all current Boise State student veterans and dependents to use, regardless of whether you have VA education benefits or not.  Browse the catalog below to see if your textbook is listed — if it’s available, you can borrow it for the semester.

Our library has been stocked 100% by donations from the Boise State campus community. You can help us develop our library by donating your old textbooks. The larger the collection, the more veterans and dependents we can help. We cannot ship books to students, you must be able to pick up your book in person from our office.
