The 4200 and 4300 floors of the Ray W. Howard Library, aka 4000 Building, will be closed to patrons until September.

The Library will relocate its service desk to the PUB room 9203 for Summer 2016 quarter, where our hours will be 8 a.m. – 5 p.m. Monday through Thursday while classes are in session. We will have course reserves (print and media) on-site, and limited ability to page items out of the 4000 Building. The desk will be staffed by at least one circulation expert and one reference librarian at all times. We are always available viaAsk A Librarian, our reference chat service, and we’ll take your questions from voice mail and email as quickly as can be.

During renovation, Tutoring Services will be operating primarily in room 1103. Below is the list of temporary venues where students can find the help they need from all of us:

Tutoring Services: 1103
Library service desk: 9203, the PUB Fishbowl
Math Learning Center: 2202
The Writing and Learning Studio: 1504

A college service often associated with the Library is the production and maintenance of Shoreline Community College ID cards. Those services can now be found in the Bookstore, located on the bottom floor of the PUB (9000 building). For students, a copy of their current class schedule and evidence of photo identification (passport, drivers license, etc.) remain the standards for obtaining a new ID card, updating a current one, or replacing a lost one.

Library Building Update and Schedule for August 14-31

These are extraordinary days at Shoreline Community College, and here in the 4000 Building, we’ve been doing extraordinary things to make the facility ready for two new partners in serving our students well: the Math Learning Center and The Writing & Learning Studio will join Tutoring, TSS, and the Library under one roof. In order to support the relocations for MLC and TWLS, the building’s 4200 and 4300 floors will be closed to the public Fri., August 14 through Mon., August 31. We are lucky to have the following colleagues stepping in to meet needs during this uncommon interruption:

TSS will open up 4102 so that students have lab access for their computing purposes during this interim from 10 a.m. – 2 p.m., M-Th (August 17-20 and August 24-27).

An ID card station will be staffed in the Student Services area in FOSS, coinciding with several orientation events later this month, including:
12-4 p.m. Mon., August 17
10 a.m. – 2 p.m. Tues., August 18 through Thurs., August 20
10 a.m. – 2 p.m. Mon., August 24 through Thurs., August 27
12-4 p.m. Mon., August 31

Instructors wishing to put material on reserve prior to September can contact Chris Matz, Library Director, via phone at 206-546-4558 or via email at cmatz@shoreline.edu for assistance at any time.

Tutoring services and the Library will re-open on Tues., September 1 and keep standard break hours (8 a.m. – 5 p.m. M-Th; closed Fridays) until Fri., September 18. MLC and TWLS will announce their own schedules as Opening Week approaches.

I am proud to work with staffs from all four offices who, with tremendous help from Facilities and countless well-wishers, worked tirelessly to get everything ready before the new academic year begins. We all look forward to bragging on our accomplishments these past few months in a formal setting very soon.
