Mission Statement
"The Halifax Community College Learning Resources Center supports the
College's instructional program by providing print, non-print, and
electronic information, as well as other media for students, faculty,
staff, and the general public, in order to promote, support, and
encourage information literacy--the ability to locate, evaluate, and use
information to become an independent life-long learner."
Staff
An integral part of our college’s educational program, our library staff
is committed to providing instructional and support services for our
faculty and students. A certified librarian is always on duty. Other staff
members are available to assist patrons in locating information or
providing instruction regarding library usage.

in session. When school is not in session, the library is closed at night.
The library is closed on weekends and certain holidays.

Facility
The HCC-LRC contains about 12,000 square feet of floor space, housing our
print collection, two computer labs, a student tutorial room, and the
distance learning office. The ERC (Electronic Resources Center) is the
public access lab with 64 computers and Internet connectivity. The LAC
(Learning Assistance Center) is smaller student/faculty lab consisting of
20 computers and ample staff for assistance.
Collections: Print and Electronic
The HCC library houses about 30,000 titles, 100 periodicals, and an
assortment of AV equipment. Our online catalog CCLINC (Community College
Libraries in NC) allows patrons to access titles in our collection as well
as those in the greater community college collection. Books from other
community colleges can be requested at the circulation desk. CCLINC and
other data services can be accessed through our web page under Electronic
Resources. Some of these sites require passwords (available at the
circulation desk) for remote access. Materials are also available through
inter-library loan.
Policies
Books are circulated for a two-week period. Three renewals may be granted,
one by phone. Overdue fines are .05 per book per day. Students must return
all materials and pay all fines by the end of each semester before
registering for the next semester.
Rules
The LRC operates under the same regulations as the campus. (See the HCC
Student Handbook.) The library is expected to be a relatively quiet place.
The computer labs are very quiet places. No cell phone usage. No food or
drink. Children must be supervised in the library. No children are allowed
in the computer labs. High School students require adult supervision in
the labs. ID badges or visitor passes must be worn at all times.
Interlibrary Loan
Most books and periodicals not owned by the HCC Library can be
requested from participating libraries through the CCLINC (Community
College Libraries in North Carolina) or OCLC (Online Computer Library
Center).
