Fall Library Hours
Welcome to the fall semester. Our hours this fall are listed below, and you can always double check to see when we’re open by visiting the library website. Can’t get to the library? We have all kinds of resources to help you out with research, and you can also make contact with librarians for help by phone or email. As usual, our catalog is available online and our eresources can be accessed by holders of activated City Tech ID Cards.
Starting A New Semester!
We’d like to extend a welcome to new and returning library users, and send out a brief reminder that it is more important than ever to make sure that your City Tech ID Card is activated by the library at the beginning of each semester. This year there will be ID activation stations at the Circulation Desk and to the right of the library entrance, just look for the signs telling you where to go.
If you are new to the college, and have not yet received your ID card, you will need to get it before you can access some of our library services. ID cards are distributed by the department of public safety at the beginning of each semester.
