Our goal is to ensure that all ACC students -- including those enrolled at ACC "extension" centers and sites or online -- have access to ACC Library resources and services.

OVERVIEW

Are you wondering which ACC Library to use?    Your ACC course does NOT meet on any of 7 campuses?
Here's some brief information to get you started.

Campuses:

• All 7 ACC campuses (CYP, EVC, NRG, PIN, RGC, RVS, SAC) have libraries with librarians, services, and collections. We work together as one team. Library hours & contact info.
• ACC students may utilize any ACC Library -- meaning that you are not limited to using the library at your specific campus or center.
• Online learning students may utilize any ACC Campus Library.
• ECS (Early College Start) students enrolled in ACC courses at their high schools may also utilize any ACC Campus Library.
• Centers/Sites -- ACC students enrolled at Centers and Sites may also utilize any ACC Campus Library.

Centers & Sites:
ACC offers courses at a multitude of "non-campus" locations—called centers and sites—spread throughout 8 central Texas counties.

• Four of these ACC centers (BSP, FBG, RRH, SMC) offer ACC Library Services on-site.
• Hours of service and library resources are limited at these Centers. So, it's important that you verify hours of service.
• ACC students enrolled at these 4 Centers can access ACC Library Services at those locations in ADDITION to visiting any ACC Campus library.
• Nearest Campus. Students are also generally informed to contact their nearest ACC Campus for additional services not offered at their Center or Site.
