The Washington County Community College Library
provides accurate information services to students,
faculty, staff and community members. Graduate
professional librarians and trained support staff
select, classify, organize, store and interpret
materials. The library purchases reflect a variety
of points of view and a range of print and non-print
materials, such as, but not limited to, periodicals,
books, electronic databases, software, maps, videos
and audiocassettes. The professional staff helps
library patrons to research, interpret and use
information by offering group and individual information
literacy programs. The library staff works closely
with faculty to support curriculum needs and to
provide a welcoming and respectful atmosphere
where all library users can receive professional
services.
