Library Mission

The CCC Library's mission is to actively support the teaching and learning process by providing learning resources, instructional technology and services relevant to the educational needs, personal growth and cultural enrichment of the CCC community.

Librarians and library staff will work with other faculty, staff, administrators and students to expand information competency and critical thinking, intellectual independence and skills relevant to life-long learning and gainful employment for all students.

Services

bullet

Circulation Services - Library patrons (including CCC faculty and staff) need a bar-coded campus ID card for the current semester/year to check materials out of the library. Go to the Associated Students Union Office to obtain your campus ID card.

ALTERNATIVES:  If a student does not have his/her student ID card at the time of checkout, the student may show a current photo ID (such as a driver's license) PLUS a registration printout for the current semester.  If the student does not have the printout or know his/her identification number, he/she will need to fill out a Student ID Number Verification Form. 

CCC retirees, alumni, and community members may obtain borrowing privileges by joining the Friends of the Library.

See the Circulation Services page for more information.
