Welcome back!

Welcome to the new academic year at White Mountains Community College!

What's new?

Thanks to the Student Senate, we now have three shiny new computers with Windows 7. They've got Microsoft Office 2007, Open Office 3.2, dvd/cd readers/burners, as well as some specialty software, and are very fast! Look for the lilac desktop images for these new additions.

Our Friday hours have expanded! We are opening at 7 a.m. on Fridays now (and are still staying open until 7 p.m).

EBSCOhost has changed its look, just a bit. If you want help with this fantastic database, please see a member of the library staff.

Don't be strangers -- please ask for assistance any time--in person, via email (berlinlibrary@ccsnh.edu) or by phone: 603-752-1113 x 3087.

The Guernsey Literary what?


"Written with warmth and humor as a series of letters, this novel is a celebration of the written word in all its guises, and of finding connection in the most surprising ways."
from BookBrowse

Copies of The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society, by Mary Ann Schaffer and Annie Barrows, are available in the library. The WMCC lunchtime discussion group will meet to discuss this popular book on Thursday, September 23, around noon. Bring your lunch!
