HWC Library Newsletter: December 2024: Home

It is with sadness that we share the news of the death of retired College Library Assistant III, JoAnne Mason. Ms. Mason was a valued member of the Library Department for thirty-three years. She served as supervisor in the A-V section of the library until her retirement in 2014. Ms. Mason will be remembered as a kind and reliable colleague. 

Visit the HWC Library's homepage to access online resources and services and to learn more about what the HWC Library can offer.

In addition to the many academic and enrichment resources the library offers, the library is a safe and welcoming space that offers:

• Computers and two all-in-one printers / scanners / copiers.
• Three study rooms for group work or single users.
• A quiet, peaceful atmosphere to study or relax.
• Two single-use / all-gender restrooms (the only ones in the building). 

Librarians are available via chat during the fall semester. Chat hours are: Monday - Thursday: 8:30 am - 10 pm; Friday and Saturday: 8:00 am - 10:00 pm; Sunday: 10 am - 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 blue "Chat With A Librarian" button on the left side of the page.

Coming in 2025! We are curating an exhibit of all the interesting bookmarks we have found in library books, and we're inviting you to participate. Do you have a favorite bookmark? A unique bookmark? A bookmark with which you have a long history? Reach out to cperez2@ccc.edu for more information on how to submit your bookmark for possible inclusion in the exhibit. 

The final due date for books checked out this semester is Friday, December 13. To avoid a fine that will result in a block on your student account, please return all library books inside the library or in the book drop outside the library's entrance by this date. We appreciate your cooperation.
