Flex Day at CSM means the Library will be closed.

CSM will be closed for business on Thursday March 8, 2018, as faculty and staff are dedicating the day to professional development. We apologize for any convenience this may cause you.

Fortunately, due to our partnership with the Peninsula Library System, there are other Libraries in the area that are open. Your PLS library card, including CSM Library cards, allow you to check out materials from any public library in San Mateo County.

Please contact us if you have any questions during regular open hours.
