Harold Washington College Library Newsletter * December 2021

As we head toward the end of the semester, don't forget that the library is your resource for research assistance, to access course textbooks, to check out books for school or for leisure reading, for a quiet space to study, and much more. We are here to support you: Monday / Tuesday from 8AM to 8PM, Wednesday / Thursday from 8AM to 6PM, and Friday from 8AM to 4PM. The HWC Library will be closed during the interim and will reopen when spring classes begin on January 18, 2022. All of us at the HWC Library wish you a successful end to the semester, a restful break, and a safe and happy new year.

Finals Week: Study Break Station

If you're in the library during finals week, visit our Study Break Station in the southeast corner (next to 501A/B). There, you'll find jigsaw puzzles, coloring sheets, origami paper, and other activities to relax with in between study sessions. 

Call for Library Books

If you have library books checked out this semester, or from a previous semester, please return them to the circulation desk at the front of the library. You can also drop them in our book return located outside the library's doors. No late fines will be charged for books returned and undamaged. Thank you for your help in getting these back on our shelves and available to the HWC community.

Remote Classes in the Library - Fall 2021 Policy

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.
