Q. Can I borrow books from other institutions?

KPU has reciprocal borrowing privileges with a number of other academic institutions.  Reciprocal borrowing means that you are eligible to receive a free community borrower/extramural library card at most academic institutions around B.C. and some across Canada. Borrowing privileges will extend only to print books; databases, ebooks, and online journals are generally not included in this arrangement.

Before going to another institution make sure you obtain a COPPUL/CPSLD card at any KPU campus library Service Desk. Bring your KPU student, employee or Lifetime Library card to the Service Desk and staff will issue a COPPUL card to you.
