Cal Poly Pomona is proud to offer a service for safe and convenient pick up of library materials, the 24/7 Bronco Lockers. Located between Parking Lot G & the Bronco Bookstore, the Bronco Lockers are available 24/7, allowing for a contactless campus pick up on your schedule. Users must complete the Safer Return Checklist and appropriate Daily Health Screener each time before coming to campus; review and comply with campus safety protocols. To use, search for the book you need on the library website and select “24/7 Locker” for pickup. The library will notify users when their item is available for pick up. Check out www.cpp.edu/lockers for more information, or email libcirc@cpp.edu.
