After the end of the current semester, Library Services at Isothermal Community College with be relocating, temporarily, to Room 17 in the Business Sciences building to prepare for an upcoming renovation of the library building. The Library will close at the end of business on Friday, December 20, 2024, and remain closed until the move is complete on or before January 13, 2025, the first day of Spring Semester. At reopening, Library Services will be available to the students and employees of the college, and the public, as before, with a few minor changes. More information will be made available as details are clear.
