Research Guides: Community Engagement: Lending Collection

Ginsburg Health Sciences Library

The library is working with Community Engagement Dept. to make available resources that you can bring to your communities to help you teach the people you visit and learn about available education resources for that purpose.

Books and Games are given an identifying label to make it easier for library staff to store and find them. Ask for them by number and title, they are not in our library catalog. Items check out for 7 days but if you need extended time let the library staff member know when you check it out.
