WCCC Library: Library FAQ

1. Is the WCCC library open to the community?

The WCCC Library is open to the Warren County community.  Members of the community may come and use the technology available in the library which includes computers with Microsoft Office applications and Internet access.  Public patrons do not have printing privileges from the computers, but can make black and white copies for $0.10 per copy (All users must comply to all copyright laws).  For more information, please see our Community Services page. 

2. Do I need to sign in at the library or bring ID?

For safety reasons, all members of the community who are not current students, faculty, or staff must sign in at the security desk in the college before continuing into the building. While not required to show an ID to access the library, it is recommended that you have your ID with you. 

3. Does the library have children's books or programs?

No, the WCCC library is not geared for children.  The library maintains a quiet environment meant to support learning and studying, and is not a child-friendly area.  Please see the college's policy on unattended minors.

4. Can members of the public reserve rooms in the library?

No, the few rooms within the college's library are to support our students first and cannot be reserved. However, community groups can reserve other spaces at WCCC for use.

5. Can community members print in the library?

No, only current students, faculty, and staff may print from the computers in the library.  However, you should check with your local public libraries to see what printing options they offer.  

6. Does the library have tax forms?

No, the library does not have tax forms. Most tax forms can be printed from the IRS webpage.  Again, check with your local public libraries to see what printing options they offer.  They also may be able to help you to find the form you need. 

7. Can I bring my own laptop/device to the library and access the WiFi?
