Dean's Welcome

Greetings, Coyotes!

Welcome to Fall 2025! We are happy you’re here!

We have wonderful programming in store for you this semester! Look for the return of Pop Tart Pop In on 8 September and then every Monday during the semester. Keep a watch on our calendar and social media for more events, with a special watch for book giveaways! Our first book giveaway will be 15 September to celebrate Hispanic Heritage Month. 

Our library team is here for you, wherever “here” is for you! Ask a Librarian service is a wonderful place to begin. You have options to chat, phone, or text. There is even a service to chat with a librarian from one of our partners around the globe if you need help after hours! It’s even available 365 days a year, 24 hours a day. If you need more time to discuss your questions and projects in depth, you can schedule an appointment, in-person or virtual. Our team is here to help you be successful and de-mystify our wonderful resources! 

Our Makerspaces give you the chance to be a creator. You can stop by to visit and see the sample creations, or send your own 3D print request for the Innovation Lab. There will be new surprises in the space too, expanding maker options from 3D printing to other crafting. Think you have a voice for podcasting? Check out the Innovation Studio.

We’ve got great electronic resources that you can check out wherever you are as long as you have your Coyote ID. Here’s just a couple to give you an idea: 

Archives of Latin American and Caribbean History, Sixteenth to Twentieth Century 

Archival historical documents provide information about the indigenous peoples of the region, the Conquest (la Conquista), colonial rule, religion, struggles for independence, and political, economic, and social progress and issues in newly independent nations. 

Archives of Sexuality and Gender 

Digitized primary sources for the historical study of sex, sexuality, and gender. Includes five collections: Community and Identity in North America; International Perspectives on LGBTQ Activism and Culture; LGBTQ History and Culture Since 1940, Parts I and II; Sex and Sexuality, Sixteenth to Twentieth Century. (Access funded by CSUSB Strategic Initiative resources).

Please follow our main website and social media for updates!
