Q: What are the library’s hours?

A: Current hours can be found on our website: https://park.libcal.com/hours/

Q: How do I log into the library?

A: How you log into the library depends on what you're trying to do.

  • To Look for Books in the Library Catalog
    • Use your Park ID followed by pu. For example, 1234567pu.
  • Searching a Database or using Pirate Search
    • Use your Park Single Sign On (Park email address and Canvas/MyPark password). Like this:

1234567@park.edu

If you still can't log into library databases or Pirate Search, there are two things to try:

Q: How do I get my textbooks for this term?

A: Contact the Campus Bookstore for information on required textbooks. For more information on Park's bookstores, see their website.

The digital bookshelf is part of Park's bookstore. You can find information about the bookshelf here: https://parkuniversity.freshdesk.com/support/solutions/articles/6000228320-mbs-digital-bookshelf.

If you still have trouble accessing the book, please contact your instructor and/or the bookstore (textbooks@park.edu).

Q: I placed an item on hold (or requested it via interlibrary loan) and was notified that it’s ready. Where do I go to get it?

A: Items are held for patrons in the book lockers by the info desk. They should have been notified via email which locker it’s in, and the locker combination to open the door. Materials in the lockers have already been checked out to patrons, so they can just take it and go!
