Yes!
Members of our community are welcome to use the Library and its resources with the understanding that our academic context centers service to our students first and foremost. Our collections and resources are maintained specifically to support student learning, and we strive to maintain an environment conducive to that emphasis. Community members are expected to abide by the Library's and MCCCD's policies and to anticipate that Library hours, services and resources may be subject to change.
