Information on how College Libraries are supporting CofC virtually and in-person

The College Libraries are here for you!

Need some help but can't make it to the library? Through hurricanes, illnesses, and other extenuating circumstances, the College Libraries are here to support your academic endeavors throughout the year. In addition, if circumstances necessitate campus closure, the Libraries transition to virtual services. This page includes up-to-date hours of service and information on what you can expect from the Libraries.
