Using CCC Library

We strive for CCC Library to be a safe, welcoming, and inclusive space for all. In order to achieve this goal, all visitors are expected to meet library use expectations.

Food and drink are allowed in the lounge area by the Circulation Desk. Covered drinks, non-fragrant/non-greasy or overly involved foods are allowed around the computers, in the private study carrels, and in the study rooms. Library staff reserve the right at anytime to request that the food and drink be put away or disposed of in the trash.

Animals are not allowed in buildings unless they are service animals.

CCC Library follows the CCC Board policy GBPA regarding Children on Campus.

"Minors who are brought to any College campus site by a responsible adult, including parking area, are not to be left unattended or unsupervised; and the adult assumes all liability for the child’s welfare and negligence. Child care is the responsibility of the adult and not the College. This regulation does not prohibit College premises from being used as it is intended by any customer of the College (i.e. library)."
