Library services extend well beyond the walls of library buildings and most library services are available via the extensive library website. PCC is a member of the Orbis Cascade Alliance (Alliance), a consortium of 37 academic libraries in Oregon, Washington, and Idaho. By searching the library catalog, students, faculty, and staff can borrow from any Alliance library. Students can also use Interlibrary Loan to borrow items not owned by PCC or the Alliance.

Finally, and on some days most importantly, the library is a great place to relax and hang out. There are quiet and noisy spaces where you can work in groups or alone.  This space belongs to you, so please feel free to bring in some coffee and a snack, kick up your feet, and do some homework or curl up with a good book. The library has a collection of books, CDs, and DVDs for entertainment. There are computers and printers in the library and all libraries have wireless access.
