Library Open House at Your Campus!

Library Week is that time of the year when we stop and appreciate what libraries and librarians have contributed to our schools and communities. And South Texas College will celebrate Library Week with a number of activities at all five of its campuses.

Celebrated nation wide, this year’s theme is “Communities Thrive @ Your Library.”  In tough economic times, libraries give free access to books, DVDs, computers, and research assistance.  Go by one of your campus libraries to enjoy what they have to offer.  Please e-mail Esther Garcia for more details: egarcia10@southtexascollege.edu.
