Lending Library

The Lending Library was established to assist students who have exhausted financial aid or are unable to receive grants to receive a class textbook. The program is funded by the Student Government Association and the OFTC Foundation. Applications may be picked up at the library or accessed via the library’s website beginning the first day of registration. Students generally receive one book as copies are limited. Books are awarded on a first-come, first-served basis. Books are distributed beginning several days before classes officially start and must be returned by the last day of the semester. Please note that the library does purchase some textbooks from students depending on demand.

Laptop Lending Program

Students may apply for a laptop computer to use off campus for academic purposes for a semester. Laptops are limited and priority will be given to applicants who meet one or more of the Special Populations criteria, but may be available for other students on a first come/first served basis. Students may apply through the library at the beginning of each semester for an opportunity to use a laptop for that term. Laptops must be returned by the last day of the semester. Students are responsible for the laptop and assume full responsibility for replacement to the college if the laptop is not returned, is damaged, or is stolen while in the student’s possession.
