The college library is located in the center of campus for a reason. It is an activity hub for study, collaboration, social engagement, and support. While you may have used our spaces or browsed our website, you may not realize just how often fellow students, faculty, staff, and community also utilize the array of resources that SC4 Library offers. These numbers represent a brief snapshot of our patrons’ hard work and dedication in the pursuit of knowledge.
