The VTH Library welcomes all patrons and provides services for the general public, practicing veterinarians, and CSU students, staff, and faculty.
All patrons can use print resources in house, including scanning/copying pages from books and journals. All patrons can access and print electronic resources (databases, articles) in house (public patrons may use the public access computers located at the front of the library).
All items circulate for 7 days (one week) with option to renew, unless an item is on reserve (loan times vary, but include room use only, 24-hours, and 72-hours).
Borrowing Cards
To check items out of the library, patrons must have a community borrowing card (Colorado residents only) or CSU Ram Card (CSU students, staff, and faculty only).
Colorado residents may obtain a community library card from the Loan & Reserve Desk at Morgan Library and check out materials from the VTH Library and Morgan Library.
CSU patrons may activate their RAM Card to serve as a public library card and check out items at Poudre River Public Library locations.
Reference Services
Reference services and research help are available for all patrons Monday-Friday, 8am-5pm. The library is open during evenings and weekends, but reference services are limited during these times.
Library help is available via chat, in-person at the library during operating hours, via email, and over the phone (970-297-1213). Please note that email inquiries may take up to a day to receive an initial response.

Per faculty request, books may be placed on reserve. Reserve books have shorter loan periods (room use only, 24-hours, or 72-hours). Contact the library staff to request that a book be placed on reserve or to ask about putting electronic items (books, articles) on reserve in Canvas.
