What Our Students Are Saying

I think the library is a wonderful place!

I absolutely love our library and would spend more time there if I could! Amazing staff and selection. I also greatly enjoy studying at the library and attending library events.

great place and great atmosphere!

I genuinely go to the library to interact with the staff. They are very inviting and create an excellent environment that everyone should experience.

you guys are so awesome

I wouldn’t change anything. I think the library is a good source for the school, and everyone, including myself, should go and use the resources more and benefit from them and have fun.

I really appreciate everything you all do for us!

Library staff are very courteous and ever ready to help whenever possible with them. No exact words to fully express my feelings, just to say thank you for your support to students like myself.

Everyone has been pleasant, courteous every time I have been in there, as well as knowledgeable.

I love the vibe of the library, its been very helpful for me when studying, getting help with studies and chilling finding books!

Thank you for all your help every semester

There is nothing that I would want to change about the library. They have always met and exceeded my expectations during my time at St. Charles Community College. I am very grateful for everyone who makes this library possible.

I really enjoy the quiet space upstairs. It is where I spent most of my time while I was in the library.

Although I have not been often, the librarians have always been welcoming, kind, and helpful. I wanted to make sure they get their flowers considering the people are the ones who truly make the space what it is.
