Donate now: https://www.csi.cuny.edu/giving and select "Library" in the gift designation. Thank you for making a difference!

Re-charge at the CSI Library!

We now have new phone charging stations at the CSI Library, thanks to the Office of Information Technology (OIT).

There are three on the first floor and two on the second floor. We also have charging cords for phones and laptops that will be available for loan at the Circulation/Reserves Desk very soon. There are additional charging stations throughout the 1L building as well.

Happy 4th of July!

NEW: At the height of Pride Month, several members of Congress are seeking to strip away discrimination protections for LGBTQ+ library workers & students. Tell Congress not to roll back protections: https://oneclickpolitics.global.ssl.fastly.net/messages/edit?promo_id=22858

We will NOT be silent. ALA stands firm against this proposed roll back. Discrimination protections affirm what we know is true: all are welcome in America's libraries, during Pride Month and year round.

Deadline approaching! Join us in celebrating the Class of 2024 by supporting the CSI Annual Fund. Your donation helps provide opportunities for all students to thrive. Make your gift by June 30th and be a part of their journey to success.
