eBooks at the Library!

Everyday we add more and more ebooks to the Library's collection. This format benefits students who need good, authoritative materials but cannot get to their campus Library.

Find ebooks in the catalog as you would search for any printed materials.

For more information, see our page on how ebooks work at CCBC.

Books, Books

Mischievous books. When everyone is done and gone, you move around without a sound, wreaking havoc on those who work. Tumbling down, down, down to where you know you don’t belong, and settling down until the hours start. Someone will move you, or read you, or even put you in your place, but when everyone is done and gone, you will move around without a sound, just when your hours start.

--by Jeff Cline, Student Library Assistant
