Using CCC Library

CCC Library supports students, faculty, staff, and community members by teaching users how to find and evaluate information, providing access to millions of print and online resources, assisting with research, and offering space to learn.

What is Summit?

Summit is a service that lets you search for and request books and other items from our partner libraries. CCC Library is a member of the Orbis Cascade Alliance, a consortium of Pacific Northwest libraries who partner with each other to share materials and costs. You can visit a partner library and directly check out items, too.
