HWC Library Newsletter: September 2021: Home

Librarians are available via chat Monday through Sunday from 10 am to 10 pm. The chat box feature will open on the lower right corner of any library page including the main CCC Libraries information page.

On the HWC Library homepage, you can also chat with a librarian by clicking on the "Chat With A Librarian" button.

The library currently features book displays for Hispanic Heritage Month, Series & Sequels (books that are part of series), and Banned Books Week, as well as newly acquired books. All books in display areas are available for checkout at the library's Circulation Desk with your City Colleges I.D.

Did you know that you can return any HWC Library book checked out this semester or in a previous semester and no late fine will be charged? Just return then at the circulation desk in the library or drop them in the library book return bin located next to the security desk on the first floor of the College.

Check out our previous newsletters for any information you might have missed.

In order to maintain a shared space that is conducive to quiet study, but that also accommodates the needs of students attending remote classes in the library, we ask that visitors read and follow the current policy for attending remote classes (classes on Zoom) while in the library space.
