Generally speaking, no. These books are usually purchased at the Hollins Store. You can search for your textbook in OneSearch but we generally don't purchase textbooks (see our policy below).
However, the library does have materials put on course reserve by professors. Look up Course Reserves by course or professor here.
From the library's Collection Development Policy:
Due to the high cost of textbooks and their accelerated publishing schedule, purchasing traditional textbooks for the collection is unsustainable for the library in terms of funds and/or of the available space. Note that this exclusion does not apply to non-traditional textbooks used as class texts: the library will order novels, ethnographies, case studies or any other materials that will add lasting value to the library’s collection. The library will also consider purchasing unlimited e-access to required texts when available through its e-book providers, if funds are available.
