Material Suggestion Form:  If you think that the Library should have material that would be useful to the college, please fill out the book order suggestion form at the help table.  We are always looking to improve our collection.

The library classroom is available for class use. Reservations can not be made in advance of one week and library instruction classes have priority.

Library Instruction

 Library instruction includes both traditional and online resources and can be tailored to specific topics or class assignments.  The professional librarians instruct students in the types of information sources that are available and how to access these sources to extract the information needed. Today’s students need to know and understand how to locate and use the vast information material available. Information Literacy is key to a student’s ability to locate and evaluate information sources.  Come in and set up a class time for your students!

Library tours are available by appointment.
