Today's Hours
The City College Libraries are committed to being a nexus for high quality information resources and services that support the evolving instructional and research mission of the College, and work to empower the broader campus community. As a collective of information professionals, we are dedicated to contributing to the multifaceted education of our users through information literacy, training in archival research, access to robust digital resources, and the development of cross disciplinary research skills which build the infrastructure for academic and career success. We therefore prepare the diverse populations of the College for service and leadership to our city, nation, and the world. We are dedicated to equity and belonging, and to fostering library environments that are inclusive, accessible, and supportive of racial, ethnic, cultural, and economic diversity.
