Why Get a Public Library Card?

In addition to the resources available to you as a B-CU user, your local public library system will also have novels, nonfiction books, and other resources you will find helpful, both for personal reading, as well as for research. A good number of them will be digital and you can access them from your residence hall or apartment if you have a local library card with that library system..

As its name indicates, the Volusia County Library System (VCPL) is Volusia's public library system. (Living in another county or state?  Find your public library).
