September is Library Card Sign-up Month, and MSL has the easiest way to celebrate!

Head to the Library Connection Lounge on our 1st floor and check out our CPL @ CSU Popular Reading Collection — current bestsellers and popular magazines, all courtesy of our partnership with Cleveland Public Library.

Here's the catch: you'll need a Cleveland Public Library card to check items out. Don't have one? No problem — the Library Help Desk can sign you up on the spot, completely free.

Once you have your card, the perks go well beyond the Lounge. Cardholders also get free access to:

Libby — ebooks, audiobooks & digital magazines
Hoopla — movies, TV shows, music albums & comics
Kanopy — films & documentaries
Research databases and online classes

It's a simple way to add some just-for-fun reading (and watching, and listening) to your semester.
