National Library Week April 4-8, Connect with your Library!
Let’s get ready to celebrate National Library Week. Century College Library encourages all community members to visit their library in person or online to explore and access services and programs. Century College Library offers a wide array of resources and classes that are available in person or from the comfort of home.
National Library Week is a time to highlight the essential role libraries, librarians and library workers play in transforming lives and strengthening communities. The theme for this year’s National Library Week is “Connect with Your Library,” which promotes the idea that libraries are places to get connected to technology by using broadband, computers, and other resources. Libraries also offer opportunities to connect with media, programs, ideas and classes, in addition to books. Most importantly, libraries also connect communities to each other.
Show us your support by following us on Facebook, Twitter, download the Century College App, and join us throughout the week for fun events. We will have book scavenger hunt, button-making, and will have little giveaways for you to enjoy!

Students will use socially distanced seating within sight of the circulation desk. These precautions will allow us to avoid the 72 hour quarantine for returned items.

Many of our library services are available online:
- You can access library resources from the library homepage remotely by logging in with your Star ID/Password.
