Library Info & Updates: Library Updates & Services

The laptops and iPads that we lend out to students are getting an internal makeover! 

IT is reimaging our computers. This means that some of the old restrictions are being removed and you’ll have more control over what you are able to download onto the computer!

The downside is that we need to get all of our computers back so that they can be reimaged this summer.  After this semester ends in May, we’re asking all students to return their devices to a campus library by May 23rd. 

If you are taking summer classes, we will switch out your device with one that has the new image. If you won’t be back until fall, you’ll be able to come to a campus library 10 days before the semester starts to check out a computer.

Note: West Campus will be closed for renovations for the month of July, so if you are returning a computer after May or trying to pick up a computer for the second part of summer classes, you’ll need to go to a different campus.  

Reserve a study pod or room at one of our campus library locations

Need a quiet place to study alone or with a partner? Is home is too hectic for an online class? We've got you covered! The PCC Library has study pods and rooms available by reservation.

Each pod has a comfortable bench seat, a desk, a study light, an overhead fan, and a glass door to keep noises out and your class conversations in. Sure, you may at first feel like you're on display in a Barbie box, but soon you'll find them downright cozy. Study rooms have a variety of table and chair configurations, whiteboards, power, and other features!

Select here or visit the campus library to make your reservation.
