Welcome, incoming First-Year students and new Transfer students! One of the highlights of Orientation (which has been taking place throughout this month and will continue into next month) is picking up your shiny new Columbia College ID card.

Not only will you be able to add “Columbia Cash” to your card to make purchases in the Bookstore, the Plum Cafe and the Library Coffee Cart and pay for printing in the Library and other Campus labs, your Columbia College Chicago ID (aka your “Campus Card”) is also your Columbia College Chicago Library card! Your Campus Card is your ticket to a world of books and other resources available to you through the Columbia College Chicago Library.

In addition to checking out books from the CCCLibrary, you can also use your Campus Card to request books from other libraries located all over Illinois. Here’s a quick explanation of how to do this: http://www.lib.colum.edu/research/findBooksOtherLibraries.php
