CARE Center Resources and Services

Textbook Loan Program

The CARE Center in partnership with ASCMC’s Campus Improvements Committee provides donated textbook loans to current CMC students. The program, which starts the first week of the semester helps students access donated textbooks free of charge for the current semester. This initiative launched in an effort to support students who may face challenges with book affordability or simply looking to save money to navigate rising textbook expenses. Each year students and faculty donate to the library allowing fellow peers to access this resource. If you have a textbook used in the current course catalog you’d like to donate to the Textbook Loan Program or have questions, please contact Seyha Klam at seyha.klam@cmc.edu.

Space Reservation

Students, faculty, staff, and college partners are welcome to reserve the CARE Center spaces for meetings and events.
