National Library Week: April 3 - 9

It’s national library week! This week is a time to recognize and remember the libraries and librarians in your organizations and communities, and the work they do to provide information and access to people of all backgrounds. During the pandemic, libraries have been going above and beyond to adapt to our changing world by expanding their resources and continuing to meet the needs of their users. Whether people visit in person or virtually, libraries offer opportunities for everyone to explore new worlds and become their best selves through access to technology, multimedia content, and educational programs. Nominate a library star or learn more about your CVTC librarians and library staff. 

New Study Spaces in the Learning Center!

 

There are a few exciting new things here at the CVTC Library. You may have noticed our study rooms have undergone a makeover with new paint, technology, and furniture.

 

We also have study pods available towards the back of the library. There are TVs to connect to, outlets, and plenty of chairs for group or individual work.  Near Academic Support, we have individual study “rooms.” These have soundproof, white noise, lighting, and power features - the perfect place to pop in for a Zoom call.  Come and check out our new study spaces today!  

 

CVTC Library Spring Break Hours

 The CVTC library will be open over spring break!  Our holiday hours are Monday-Friday, 7:30am - 5pm.  Stop in for some DVDs or the newest books to enjoy over the break!  

New Access Engineering Database

 

If you haven’t heard, we have a new database that is great for our mechanical, engineering and technical programs!  Several instructors have found materials for their classes that students can access for free, instead of paying for.  The database features books, videos, spreadsheets and case studies.  

Check out the McGraw Hill Access Engineering Database today!  Let the library know if you find something you can use in your classes!
