ASSOCIATED STUDENT GOVERNMENT

Book Loan Program

The Book Loan Program at Saddleback College began in the spring of 2009. It came to the attention of Counseling, the Associated Student Government, and the Foundation that there were many students on campus that didn't have the resources to purchase text books, yet their need was so recent that they didn't qualify for financial aid. The Associated Student Government initially donated $5000 in funds to purchase books to place in the Reserve section of the library for students in need to access as an alternative to purchasing the book for their class.

Take advantage of the Book Loan Program sponsored by the Saddleback College Associated Student Government (ASG) and the AT&T Foundation in partnership with the Saddleback College Library and Bookstore.
