Lending Library
Biola's Lending Library is a collection of over 1,000 donated textbooks from fellow students, faculty, staff and alumni. This program lends textbooks to students with financial need at no cost. The Advising Center, in partnership with Biola Shares, hosts the Lending Library in the Advising Center in Sutherland Hall.

Guidelines for Borrowing Textbooks
Textbooks can be borrowed for the entire semester.
Please return all textbooks to the Advising Center by the end of the semester.
If you do not return your textbooks, you will no longer be able to access the Lending Library.
If you accidentally lose or damage a textbook, please let us know right away. There is no fine. However, in order to retain access to the Lending Library the next term, you will need to replace the lost/damaged textbook with a textbook of your choosing.
