Closed July 4th

All SWC Libraries are closed on Independence Day, Wednesday, July 4, 2012.

Libraries resume regular summer hours on Thursday, July 5, 2012.

Do we have your textbook?

National City, Otay Mesa, and San Ysidro libraries own copies of some textbooks. Textbooks may be checked out for in-library use, usually for one or two hours.

To find out if we have your textbook, search the book title in the Library Catalog. Or-- just Ask a Librarian!

Chat with a librarian 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

The main SWC library at Chula Vista also has some textbooks on Reserve.
