Big news from the library world—Cali, the official mascot of the California State University InterLibrary Loan system—has kicked off her grand tour! Her very first stop? Right here at Chico State!
Cali’s adventure represents the journey books take as they travel between all 23 CSU campuses using our free courier system. Next up on her itinerary is Sonoma State, a library we’ve borrowed more than 250 items from since introducing Rapido, our interlibrary loan platform.
While at Chico State, Cali explored our treasures in Special Collections, including the first drawn map of the Chico State campus and an old yearbook featuring the ever-creepy orginal mascot, SOCS. And don't forget, Special Collections is having an Open House in October! Click here for more details!
If you want to learn more about how interlibrary loan works and the global library network of which we are an integral part, stop by the Circulation Desk—we’d love to chat and share the magic of resource sharing with you! Be sure to ask for Tina (she may even have chocolate)!
Stay tuned to see where Cali the Bear pops up next on her CSU adventure!
