Welcome! West Campus Library wants you to have a successful semester!

West Campus Library is located in Building 6. We are open until 10 pm on weekdays, 9-1 am on Saturdays and 2-6 pm on Sundays. For details, see Library Hours.

The library facility offers many convenient services to help you access resources, work and study. The Computer Access Lab and new collaborative area, called SPACE, on the first floor are available for students developing papers, projects and presentations. On the second floor you can find books, Research Computers with easy access to online resources, and help from professional librarians. Both floors offer study areas, printing and copying. For more services, see On-Site Library Services.

Students, faculty and staff may check out books and other materials from the library using your Valencia picture ID card as your library card. Get a Valencia ID card at Student Development (4-103) to start taking advantage of these resources. For more details, see Check-Out & Borrowing Procedures.

We also offer many resources online through our collection of Library Databases and E-books. Using your ID, you can log on from any location to find scholarly, peer reviewed journal articles, magazine and newspaper articles, and even entire books online.
