How to check out books from CCC Library

Print books can be checked out from CCC Library for six weeks.

Come to CCC Library and pick out books. You can also look in our library catalog to find books. Use the link below.

If you can't find what you are looking for, email us at reference@clackamas.edu and ask for help finding and requesting print books. Let us know what you are interested in, and what class you are in, and what level you read at (example. Level 2 and 3). We will gladly help you find something fun to read!

This is a free service.

Leveled Reader collection @ Oregon City Campus

CCC Library has over 700 books for adult English Language Learners.

These books are organized according to reading level, starting at Level 1 / yellow (easiest) and ending at Level 6 / black (hardest).

The Leveled Reader Collection is located in the lower part of CCC Library, in the Library Living Room area in front-facing bookshelves.

Remember the Five Finger Rule: If you open a book to a page and don't understand five words on that page, it may be too challenging for you to read at this time. Try again after you have practiced, and in the meantime, we have books for every reading level!
