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!

From the Archives

It's ALIVE! After receiving a number of questions about the microfilm machines from curious students, we discovered that they still (mostly) work. If you've ever been interested in seeing how these function, stop by the reference desk and ask a librarian to demonstrate. Catch them while they're still working!
