Printing

Then drive by the SCC Library (Bldg. 16 at west door facing Greene St) to pick up your prints. Any requests submitted after 8am will be available for pick up the following business day, Mondays - Thursdays.
As per Governor Inslee's Stay-At-Home order, regular services at the library are suspended and the library is closed until the order is lifted.
The library is only open for borrowing and returning equipment and for curbside pick-up of printing.
Until the campus is reopened, library books are not available for loan. If you don't yet have your textbook here are our suggestions:
A. Contact your instructor immediately. Lots of students are in need to textbooks, so your instructor may have some remedy to help all students in the class.
B. Feel free to email Karen Waite, library circulation supervisor, karen.waite@scc.spokane.edu to ask her advice
While the library is closed, books cannot be borrowed. If you need a book from the library, contact a librarian via 24/7 chat; librarians may be able to find an information source which you can use instead.

If you have questions, email circulation Circ.Desk.SCC@scc.spokane.edu at the SCC Library
