About
CST’s Library Services serve the School’s mission by providing access to high-quality materials and consultation broadly and deeply relevant to the work of our students and faculty. In cooperation with the DTL, CST strives to provide books and articles for coursework, theses, exams, and all other research and learning. The Director of Library Services, Dr. Maggie Froelich, is the School’s provider of information literacy instruction and consultation and is dedicated to the values of access and intellectual freedom.

Donations and Visits
CST no longer operates an independent physical library or holds physical collections. There are no library materials or public spaces at our Los Angeles campus. If you have books and other materials you would like to donate, the best way to make sure they are available to CST students is through donation to the DTL. Please contact them here.
