Library Furniture
The NW Library offers a relaxing environment with comfortable furniture for our public areas. We surveyed students to identify their library furniture preferences and we studied the ways groups utilized the different spaces of the NW library. We used this data to create areas with:
Technology & Study Rooms
Incorporating technology into our four study rooms has contributed to increased usage by students.
We also offer iPads, laptops, graphing calculators, virtual reality cube, a Flip Video camera, charging cords for Apples and Androids, and a digital camera for students to check out.
HyFlex Classroom
Room B-312 inside the Library is being remodeled as a Hybrid/Flexible--or "HyFlex"-- classroom.
ASL LAB
Northwest library also houses the ASL for students taking ASL in room B303.
Lupita has been with Pima since 2011 and began her PCC Library role in 2017. Working in the Library has been amazing for Lupita. She loves being surrounded by books and by the people who read them. When she's not "Lupita---the Library Services Specialist", she is a mom to a growing boy, a Husky, and an Akita. Tucson has been her home since birth and she enjoys climbing rocks, napping, drinking coffee, eating, and having adventures with her little family.
