Feel free to move the chairs and tables in the Library around as you see fit. Food and drink are allowed in the Library in all areas! Please clean up after yourself and be respectful of others.

The Library is not a quiet place. We encourage students, faculty and staff to use the Library as a place for community, meeting, learning and sharing information. You may find that the noise level is higher than you would like if you are studying. There are two quiet study rooms in the Library. The first (110f) is located around the corner to your right as you enter the Library. This is a general purpose room, and may occasionally be occupied by a group. The second (110E) is located in the far right corner of the Library. This is designated for quiet study only, and is furnished with study carrels for your use. Please let the Library Staff know if you have any concerns.

Any destruction or theft of Library materials is a serious offense. Anyone caught stealing or destroying materials will be brought before the Judiciary Committee.

To check out materials, you must have a valid CCSNH Student ID and a Library account. These are both given at the Library desk. Please bring a photo ID and your student ID number with you when you sign up.

Library books are checked out for 3 weeks, and videos for 3 days. The NOOKs are checked out for 2 weeks. Journals and reference books do not circulate and will be available at all times for use in the Library. Items on reserve for a specific course may be checked out for use within the Library. Pool balls, Wii and PS3 games and controllers may be checked out for use in Student Life.

Library materials may only be renewed once online through the Library catalog (or over the phone or in person). To renew an item after that, you must contact us by phone or in person. You must renew items on or before their due date. You may not renew the NOOK.

You are given one "day of grace" after the due date, with no penalty. After that, a late fee will be applied of 25 cents per item per day. All materials must be returned and all fines paid before the end of the semester, or a hold will be placed on your account and you will be unable to register for courses, get transcripts, or graduate. Fines may be paid at One Stop.

When returning books, you may give items to the Library staff or use the book drop to your left as you enter the Library. When the Library is closed you may deposit materials in the book drop in the wall to the left of the Library doors. The NOOKs must always be returned directly to a Library staff member.

While recognizing the individual missions of its respective colleges, the CCSNH libraries support a common mission to provide access to up-to-date technology and informational resources to all who use their facilities, including students, faculty, staff and the local and wider community. It fulfills this mission in an environment that is welcoming, conducive to learning and research, and current in its resources. The library is the "knowledge hub" of the campus and, as such, provides program and curriculum support, assesses and teaches information literacy, and encourages in its patrons a love for life-long learning and independent research.
