Happy New Year from all of us at the Harold Washington College Library! The HWC Library is your college resource for a variety of needs: research assistance, accessing course textbooks, finding books for research or for leisure reading, a quiet space to study, and much more. We are located on the 5th floor of the College. Our spring semester hours of operation are Monday - Thursday from 8AM to 8PM and Friday from 8AM to 4PM. We look forward to seeing you!
