The Harold & Jean Miner Memorial Library collection includes books relating to the curriculum, magazine and journal subscriptions, audiobooks, DVDs and videos, children’s, young adult, and adult fiction books, and access to a variety of online databases. The library also offers group and quiet study rooms, as well as access to computers and printing.
The Student Success Center, on the upper level of the Miner Memorial Library, is home to Tutoring Services and our Teaching and Learning Center.
Tutoring Services offers assistance in most core subjects, including writing for any course, math, accounting, and some sciences. In-person tutoring services are located in the Student Success Center, and online tutoring services offer a way to get help without having to leave home.
The Teaching and Learning Center promotes student success by supporting faculty in their pursuit of excellence in teaching. We provide professional development, training, and resources to help educators create engaging and effective learning experiences.
