Library Tours & Instruction
Librarians will arrange to meet with your students to introduce them to the library and its resources. Most sessions take place Room 205K of the Information Commons and are followed by a tour and/or activity. Librarians are also happy to lead sessions in PEN Rooms, computer labs, or at the County Centers. Instruction sessions may also be geared toward particular assignments and/or subjects. Contact

Flexible Borrowing Privileges
As a college employee, you may borrow almost any library item including reference (special need) and periodicals.

If materials are lost, you will be charged $25 for each lost item.
