The library is the college’s central location for information, study and research.  In addition to books and electronic databases, the library provides access to audiovisual equipment, videotapes, DVDs, government documents, magazines, journals and daily newspapers.  Materials are selected to support college programs and to connect learners to information on topics of general interest to students.
