Access to Free Texbooks at IC

BOLD logo

The Helen Gurley Brown Foundation awarded a BOLD Magic Grant to the BOLD Scholar Class of 2024 to fund a Course Material Loan Program at Ithaca College. This program is intended to help all IC students have access to textbooks, and to create a sustainable way for students and faculty to donate course materials for future student access.

All IC students are invited to go to the IC Library circulation desk and ask to borrow one or more textbooks for your courses. Books will be loaned out in two-hour intervals.

If the textbook for your course is not currently available in the library’s inventory, students can request a text to be ordered using the Course Material Request Form

Thank you to the HGB Foundation for funding this project! Please contact bold@ithaca.edu with any questions about this program.
