More Information
Collection Availability
Any material that can be borrowed is referred to as "circulating" material. You can borrow any item that is part of the circulating collection in the West or Central Library. Generally speaking, reference materials and periodicals do not circulate; most other items do circulate.
Webcat, the joint library online public access catalog, shows patrons what materials are available in both the Central and West Libraries, including the Audiovisual Library. Webcat is accessible from any computer with Internet access through the College's web site: http://www.mc3.edu -- select WebCat.
Courier service goes between the two campuses each weekday. Delivery of items is quick and easy. Submit your request at West one day and have it delivered from Central the next.

Who Can Borrow?
MCCC students, employees, and adult Montgomery County residents can borrow any circulating materials. High school students who are county residents must have a letter from their school librarian requesting the use of college material.
MCCC students receive library cards with an expiration date that must be updated in the library each semester they are enrolled. MCCC employees and county residents receive cards without an expiration date.
