Can I check out books?

Library books and periodicals are available for uses in the library only. The Ikeda Library encourages community members to borrow library materials from their local Orange County public library or Mission Viejo public library. The public libraries are also able to borrow items from the Ikeda Library (i.e. interlibrary loan service) upon your requests.

Can I eat food/drink in the library?

No food is allowed in the library. Tables and chairs are available outside of the library and cafeteria. Consuming drinks in tightly covered containers such as travel mugs and tightly sealed bottles is permissible. This policy is placed in order to protect the library resources, furniture, computers, and other equipment from damage and insect infestation.

Who do I contact for lost items?

Ikeda Library is not responsible for any lost items. Lost and found items are given to the campus security (Tel: 949-480-4100).
