Go to Reserve Study Room.

Study Room Policy: Study rooms are not open to the public. They can only be reserved by SPSCC students, faculty, and staff. First priority is always to our students.

Only currently enrolled SPSCC students may print in the library.

Your network ID, which is your student email account (student@spscc.edu), is linked to your print account. Students are pre-loaded with $1.75 credit to their printing account each quarter (this amount does not roll over to the next quarter). Once this pre-loaded credit is used up, students can use a credit card to add money to their print account online, or pay with cash or check in the One Stop center (Building 22, second floor).

Printing cost is 7 cents per page for black and white. Color printing is available for 25 cents per page. Double-sided pages are considered one page.

If you are not a currently enrolled student at SPSCC: you may go your local Timberland Regional Library where you can print up to 100 free pages per week.

Currently enrolled students: use your student email and password. Your username is your first initial and last name, followed by @spscc.edu. You may also have a number in your username if you have a common name. Forgot your password or username? Go to Password Recovery to reset your password.

Community users: Ask a library staff member to log you on. Though you are welcome to use the library's computers at any time, our first priority is always to our currently enrolled students. During high demand times for library computers (typically between 9am-1pm), you are encouraged to use a laptop computer. Laptop computers can be borrowed at the Check Out Desk.

All users are expected to adhere to the Computer Resources Acceptable Use Policy.

When an item you checked out from the library becomes a week overdue, the library will place a fine equal to the value of the item on your account. Fines will prevent you from checking out Library materials. To remove the fine, you may:

• Return the item in good condition to the library, or,

• Pay the fine at One Stop (Building 22, 2nd floor).

  • If the item is later returned in good condition you will receive a refund.

  • For larger fines, you may arrange a payment plan with One Stop.

You can request an InterLibrary Loan (ILL) and we will help you borrow it from another library. Articles will take 1-2 business days to arrive. Books will take 5-10 business days to arrive.

Library student positions will be available at Career Services when we have an open position. Please contact that office for more information.
