Books that check out are on the 2nd floor of the library. You'll find books on art and architecture in the 700s. Don't forget to check the Oversize Collection for "coffee table-sized" books.
Reference books are on the 1st floor. They are often good starting points for research. Here are some examples:

Sign ino your account in order to request books from the SFCC Library. Change the dropdown menu from CCS Libraries to Partner Libraries to see materials tthat are available at Gonzaga University and a few other area institutions.
If you find a reference to a book or journal article that does not seem to be available at SCC or at any of our partner libraries we can still get it for you. You can request an interlibrary loan and we'll find the item for you wherever it's available. Keep in mind that it could take ten days to two weeks for the item to arrive if it's in a library outside the Spokane area.
