If you think poetry isn’t for you, think again! There are so many amazing poets out there it’s hard to know where to start – but trust that there is poetry that will speak to you. It doesn’t have to be in the form of the written word. Sometimes what moves you most is hearing a poem spoken…
And with that, here’s your dose of poetry for the day 🙂

It’s hard to believe February is already here! Now that you’ve gotten adjusted to the spring semester it’s time to reintroduce some extracurricular fun into your academic lives 😉 What better way to do that than by participating in SCC’s Between the Covers book club?!
The first book up for discussion is Noggin by John Corey Whaley. Book club will be meeting to talk about it on Wednesday, March 1 at 2:30 in the Information Commons of the library. We’ll have coffee and treats PLUS the chance to win our second title, Calvin by Martine Leavitt.
Here’s a brief book summary so you know what kind of fun you’re in for:
Listen—Travis Coates was alive once and then he wasn’t.
Now he’s alive again.
Simple as that.The in between part is still a little fuzzy, but Travis can tell you that, at some point or another, his head got chopped off and shoved into a freezer in Denver, Colorado. Five years later, it was reattached to some other guy’s body, and well, here he is. Despite all logic, he’s still sixteen, but everything and everyone around him has changed. That includes his bedroom, his parents, his best friend, and his girlfriend. Or maybe she’s not his girlfriend anymore? That’s a bit fuzzy too.
Looks like if the new Travis and the old Travis are ever going to find a way to exist together, there are going to be a few more scars.
Oh well, you only live twice.
Hopefully we’ll see you there!
AND if you want to read the book but the library copy is checked out, ask a Reference Librarian for help requesting it from another library. We got you. 🙂
We know the “New Year, New You” tagline is cliché but it’s true!
The 2017 Spring Semester has officially begun and we’re so glad you’re here! Make the most of all that SCC has to offer!
We *obviously* have to promote the library, so this semester make it your spot! We’re here to help you succeed. Not only do we have reference librarians, thousands of books, tons of databases, and lots of computers – we also have our second floor that houses our private study rooms and the official quiet study space for the library.
You should also pay attention to what’s going on AROUND campus. Student Activities does a great job hosting events and bringing fun things to campus (Comedy Night is coming up! plus SCC’s Between the Covers book club, to name a few) – it’s a great way to meet people and to really get that “college experience.”
Take advantage of your professor’s office hours! Ask questions if you have them and get to know these people who are here because they love teaching and they love their disciplines. Fostering relationships with your teachers only makes the academic experience that much more enjoyable.
There are so many more things we can throw out there: ACE Tutoring Center! Disability Support Services! Academic Advising! we could go on and on.
SCC is here for you! Make the most of your experience 🙂
Happy 2017!!!

December is halfway over and that means you’re one step closer to finishing the Fall 2016 semester!
We know most of you are in the midst of studying for Finals and writing papers BUT we wanted to keep you on top of the library hours which are changing as the semester break begins on December 19.
We’ll resume regular hours on January 17 when the Spring 2017 semester begins. Until then our hours will be as follows:
The library will be closed Wednesday, November 23 – Sunday, November 27.
We’ll re-open at 7:30 a.m. on Monday, November 28!
We hope you have a wonderful break – and remember, you still have access to library databases, streaming video, and eBooks even though the library is closed.
The last book club for the semester is meeting on Wednesday, November 30, in the LRC Information Commons. The meeting will take place at 2:30 and we’ll be discussing Derf Backderf’s graphic novel, My Friend Dahmer.
There’s no question that our students have a lot on their plates. Finals are just around the corner. BUT it helps to take a break from academics and do something fun for you! So come discuss this title with us – we’ll provide snacks, coffee, and conversation 🙂
The book club is a great place to meet new people on campus. Come visit – and get excited for next semester when we’ll have three new titles for you to read and discuss.
