📖 Book Club is Coming Soon!

🃏 Wednesdays with the Creekers

Wednesdays are even better with HC’s Creekers on the main campus! They’ve been enjoying library visits filled with books, card games, great conversations, and time with Yolande. It’s wonderful to see familiar faces and welcome new ones!

 

🔄 Borrowing Reminders – Read, return, repeat

We’re off to a great start to 2025, with oodles of books and resources already borrowed! A quick reminder to check your due dates in the back of your books or through the HC Library Portal (scan the QR code for quick access).

 

🚴‍♂️ Study & Cycle—At the Same Time!

Ever wanted to study while staying active? Now you can! The HC Library’s "Study Cycle" is an exercise bike with a built-in desk, perfect for reading, studying, or even typing while getting some movement in. Open to both students and staff—come give it a try!
