Who Are We

The Howard Community College Library will:

  • provide expert and technologically advanced information service designed to be responsive to the present and continually changing information needs of the college community;
  • empower users by creating a teaching, learning, and research environment which will advance information literacy, not only in the academic setting, but throughout life;
  • support the mission and the curriculum of the college;
  • maintain a collection of materials and/or access to materials at a level per student FTE as suggested by state guidelines:
    • collect and maintain archival materials that relate to the history and operations of the college - maintain any and all historical or personal documents donated to the college for safekeeping and research;
  • provide service to users that meets needs and exceeds expectations in a comfortable and aesthetically pleasing environment.

The HCC Library allows you to watch a streamed video from electronic reserves at home in your jammies, or study quietly in a carrel on site at the Library. You can pour over the crisp pages of a classic text or surf the Net.

You can take a hands-on 50 minute Information Literacy class in our digital classroom, or dig through dusty pages on your own in classic research solitude. 

In our Library you can literally eat, drink and you can even be somewhat boisterously merry (who said learning was quiet?)--but no matter if you choose the old or the new for your research/study methods, there are always trained, talented and truly nice librarians to help you!
