Central Campus Library Closed, July 30th and 31st

In order to prepare for and move the library’s legal collection to the new paralegal library space at the Cato Campus, the Central Campus library will be closed on Monday, July 30, and Tuesday, July 31.

We’ll be packing up over 7,000 volumes of legal materials, which will then be transported to Cato and shelved in the paralegal library, with the assistance of Facilities Services.

Library Services apologizes for any inconvenience this may cause, and appreciates your understanding as we work on this important initiative.

Requests from Campus Libraries suspended during break

Requests for books and videos from other campus libraries to be sent to Central campus will be suspended during the Summer break, beginning July 18 - August 18.

The satellite campus libraries (all but Central) will be closed during that time and no staff will be available to put the requested materials in transit to Central campus. Item requests will resume August 18. Thanks for your patience!

New Books, DVDs, etc. for June 2007

We've had many new acquisitions for the month of June including: 131 books, 47 DVDs, and 3 audio books. But we would rather you use them rather than count them, so take a look at the list of titles and come get some! Remember, if the title is not at your campus library you can always request to have it delivered there. Click here for details.

New Books, DVDs, and more @ the Library

Throughout the month of May CPCC Libraries added a ton of new material for our community to enjoy. Additons include new books, DVDs, and even a few audiobooks. At Harris Campus we added books on early childhood education and Cato Campus added materials to enrich our horticulure collection, but that's not all...

Please take a moment to scan a full list of the new additons to our collection.

We strive to support the curious minds of our students, faculty, and staff and hope you enjoy these new additions!
