Welcome to PC!

Welcome to Phoenix College Library!

We’re excited to see new faces on campus and hope you’re as psyched as we are for the semester to begin. Here are a few library updates and reminders to help you succeed this semester. If you have any questions, get in touch with us. We're happy to help. :)

Study rooms are available to use!

It’s tough finding a quiet place to study. Luckily, we’ve got you covered with both individual and group study rooms available for currently enrolled students to use. To make a reservation, visit our Study Rooms reservation page. Room use is limited to 3 hours at a time. For more information, visit our website.

We have textbooks!

Left your textbook at home? Or want to try before you buy? We have a limited number of textbooks available to use in the library at no cost! Borrow it for up to 2 hours at a time, then return it for someone else to use. Search the library catalog to see if the textbook for your class is in our collection. If you don't see the title that you need, contact your instructor and request that it be placed on reserve.

Research help is here when you need it

Assignments are coming, and you’ll soon be required to find scholarly sources. Don’t panic! We provide access to almost 100 different databases that you can use to find the information you’re looking for. For help with any part of the research process, connect with a librarian in any of the following ways:
- Research Coach: Schedule a one-on-one virtual or in-person appointment to meet with a librarian.
- Ask-A-Librarian: Chat with a real librarian anytime, day or night, using our 24/7 online chat service.
