The Library is a comprehensive learning resource center that is an integral part of the college’s instructional program. The print, electronic, and multimedia materials support the course offerings of the college and the professional and personal growth of the students, faculty, administration, and staff. The Library is open 50 hours a week. Library staff provide services that include class and individual library literacy instruction with orientations, reference and research support, plus course reserve materials. The Library offers audiovisual viewing, a photocopy machine, study rooms, and study areas. There are 14 computer stations on the main level of the library, and 30 computer stations in the library Technology Center (Tech Center). In addition, there are four computers reserved for Honorlock testing.  Students must present a current photo ID to check out materials.

While the library’s in-house collection includes books, audiovisual and periodical subscriptions, students have access to the statewide online library catalog and e-resources system. Florida Library Services division of Florida Virtual Campus (FLVC), operates the integrated library system used by all public college and university libraries in Florida.  The centralized, fully automated ILS provides all public postsecondary students, faculty, and staff with access to more than 38 million e-resources and 1.5 million digital archive items.  The library website (https://www.chipola.edu/academics/support/library/) has more information on the Online Library Catalog and Database (e-resources) Search.
