📚 Read, Return, Repeat – Renew or Return Library Items Before the Holidays 

Could students please check their “My Profile” in the HCCB Library portal to view their current checkouts and the dates they are due back. 

Students can renew library items themselves by clicking on the circular arrow ↻, however this may not work once items click over into overdue status. 

The library portal can be accessed via links on the SEQTA homepage or the Horsham College website. 

Students are also able to send Jenelle Patterson a SEQTA message if they would like their items renewed. 

📖 Thank you for helping keep the library collection circulating.
