Columbus State University: Library

Mission Statement

The mission of the Circulation Department is to promote access to instructional and research materials, and to make the resources of the libraries freely accessible while still maintaining the control necessary to ensure that these resources will be available to all library patrons. The Circulation Desk is the place to check out and renew materials from both the general and reserve collections, pay fines/fees, get change, pick up and return Interlibrary Loan materials, pick up and return Gil Express and place searches for items not found on shelves.
