Find items in the library

One Search, the library's discovery tool, is a great resource for finding books and media. Use the search box below or explore the collection directly using One Search.

 

  • An all fields search allows you to search using a combination of words and/or names. Example: newbery juvenile
  • Use author search to find items by a specific author. Example: Seuss
  • A title search will help you find a specific title. Example: Half Blood Prince
  • Subject searches are helpful when looking for specific subjects. Example: Counting

When an item you need is currently unavailable at the PC library, you can use the Request link to place it on hold from another MCCCD library. To do this, you will need your MEID and password.
