Both the Garfield and Verdugo Libraries are closed until further notice. During Fall 2020 Librarians continue to offer remote Research Help via chat, email, text, and Zoom. NEW! Library print books are now available for circulation. Online library workshops will be offered beginning the third week of the semester. Laptops and other devices are available for student checkout by appointment.
Although the library may be closed to in-person transactions, library faculty and staff are here for you. We are working hard behind the scenes to ensure the college community maintains access to important resources as GCC continues to deliver instruction remotely.
