The library loans books that are required and suggested reading for NorQuest classes. Choose your program area from the menu on the left to find out how you can access required and suggested books through the library.

Most required books and some suggested books are available through the Reserve Collection. Reserve books are: 

  • Kept behind the Library Help Desk
  • Available for 3-hour loans

  • On the public library shelves
  • Available for 3-week loans
  • Available to all library users

Remember: 
  • If you are not sure which books you need, please check your Moodle or speak to your instructor
