Earthquakes at the Library

Due to last month's earthquakes and subsequent damage to the LRC, library services at Cerro Coso's Ridgecrest campus have moved temporarily to the High Tech Center (Room 234) on the second floor of the Main Building while we wait for repairs. Unfortunately, restricted access to the library means that we are currently unable to provide textbooks and other materials. Computers are still available, however, and our electronic resources remain accessible 24/7!

Please return overdue materials in person or in the book drop outside of the LRC. If you need help or have any questions, we can also be contacted by email and by phone (760-384-6131).
