Your Lion Card is your passport to checking out library books at the George A. Spiva Library as well as for checking out books at ANY participating MOBIUS library. If you don't have your Lion Card yet, you can get one on campus at the Lion Card Office.
If you can't make it to the MSSU Lion Card Office, check with the library you want to use. As long as you have a current photo ID & know your Missouri Southern S#, many will let you check out books as a Missouri Southern student.
MOBIUS is a resource sharing library network that allows access to thousands of books, ebooks, media, and more! MOBIUS allows you to request materials from academic/public libraries all across the U.S.!
Did you know that you can walk into any MOBIUS library with your Missouri Southern Student ID & check out their books? You can even opt to have books delivered to you there when requesting books from us or other libraries. Whether you're a distance learner living in St. Louis, Kansas City, or Columbia MOBIUS brings the library to you.
