Hello, Spring!

***Updated on 4/14/21***

Welcome to 2021 and the spring semester at Brunswick Community College! We have a few library updates to share.

Current Hours

As we first reported in December 2020, we are still single staffing in the library based on current BCC COVID-19 protocols. There are still plenty of ways to get help, though!:

Booking Library Spaces

It’s still a good idea to book your library reservation in advance, just to make sure we have space for you when you need it while we are operating at limited capacity: https://brunswickcc.libcal.com/reserve/

By the way, our three individual study rooms have just gotten a much-needed facelift! Check them out for yourself!: https://brunswickcc.libcal.com/reserve/studyrooms/

If you need a library space within the next 24 hours, though, you should call ahead (910-755-7331) as the online system will not work for same-day appointments.

Amnesty

Got overdue library books?! Now is the time to return them to take advantage of our library late fines amnesty. We appreciate that COVID-19 is making everything more difficult – and it can be hard to get out to campus when your classes are mostly online. So we are relaxing our fine system between now and the start of the fall 2021 semester. Bring your overdue books back now – you can hand them to us in person during our spring 2021 operating hours, you can drop them in our Circulation Desk book slot, or you can drop them in our blue 24/7 book drop located outside Building A, under the main staircase – and any fines will be forgiven! (The only exception to this amnesty are any fees associated with lost or damaged materials.) So, new year, clear account!

Dolphin Tales

Past issues of BCC’s literary magazine, Dolphin Tales, produced by the ACE Lab, are now available electronically via the Library Portal. And don’t miss the latest issue, edited by Niko Giammanco!

IDs

Feel free to drop by at any point during our operating hours to get your ID.

Need an ID for the spring semester? Appointments should still be made in advance, via this link: https://brunswickcc.libcal.com/appointments/ids

New Resources

We have some great new resources available in our A-Z Database List! Our favorites include:

  • Dogwood Digital Library – borrow new/current/bestselling fiction and nonfiction ebooks/eaudiobooks here!
  • hoopla – another easy-to-use platform for accessing new fiction and nonfiction ebooks/eaudiobooks.
  • Just for Kids Streaming Collection – “gives children—and their parents—a thoroughly kid-safe, advertisement-free media platform they can freely explore and enjoy.”
  • Transparent Languages – because why not learn a foreign language right now, while you are stuck at home?!

Let us know if you need help getting set up with any of these resources!

Request New Ebooks/Eaudiobooks

If you haven’t started using Dogwood Digital Library (see above), you really should! We are eager to order new materials for this collection. So please submit your suggestions here: https://brunswickcc.libwizard.com/f/dogwood

And Coming Soon!

A new way to search library resources! We think this will be a game changer! Keep your eyes out for the beta test of our new discovery service, launching via the Library Portal any day now!

Many Thanks!

Stay healthy! And let us know how we can help – many thanks!
