The library is one of the *best* resources you can use as a college student.
The Schnare Library offers access to a wide array of books, articles, and streaming videos.
On the first floor students have access to computers and printers. Every semester each student receives $10 of free printing credit on their account.
The first floor is also where you'll see the librarians who are happy to help you with your research needs. If you can't make it in to see them, don't worry. There's a 24/7 chat on the library website.
The second floor of the library is the official "Quiet Study Space" so if you like quiet when you work we've got you covered. We refer to our main Quiet Study Room space as "The Stacks." That's where you'll find the majority of the print books in our collection.
We also offer access to individual study rooms - these can be reserved online up to a week in advance!
If you...
Don't worry! The SCC Librarians are here for you.
You can get library help in person, using our online chat, by phone, or heading to our FAQ page.
