April 4th-13th: The Library Student Survey is active!
All students should have received an e-mail invitation to take the survey with the subject line “Your Opinion Matters: Take the Library Student Survey!”
Please take a moment to fill out this short, anonymous survey and help us improve library services.
Interlibrary Loan
If we don't have a book that you need, we can request it for you from another library through Interlibrary Loan. This process typically takes 1-2 weeks.
You can also place requests for articles through Interlibrary Loan. We can usually get articles to you within 1-3 days.
To request an item (book, article, or other) log into your HPUShare account. More information about ILL can be found on the ILL page.
Triad Academic Library Association
Need it in a hurry? Through the Triad Academic Library Association (TALA), you can visit other college and university libraries in the area and use your HPU Passport to check out materials. For more details, please visit the TALA page on the library's website.
In addition, members of the HPU community can check out materials from the High Point Public Library with your HPU Passport.
We recommend calling the library first to find out what their policies are, to verify that the item is available, and to get information on where to park, etc. If you have additional questions, just ask us!
