Clermont College Welcome

One of my favorite times each new school year is the first hour of the first day. As I sit at the welcome table in the Peters-Jones building at Clermont College I’m eager to greet the new and returning students. The energy I feel from their excitement regenerates me for the possibilities of the new semester.  And of course I’m happy to direct them to the Clermont College Library.good things

I just know good things are going to happen fall semester. Best wishes to all of Clermont’s students as they begin this new journey.

Check Out Our New Look!

Thanks to the generosity of donors, we’ve made some big improvements in the Clermont College Library this summer. We’re excited to see students using our refreshed space to collaborate, work, and relax once again this year.

Some of our newest additions on the 1st floor for Fall 2016 include:

  • New lounge-type chairs
  • New collaboration tables with built-in electric
  • A refreshed, relocated computer lab

New Year, New Clermont College Library Website!

We’re happy to report that our new library website is up and running!  This fresh new look allows users to have a more seamless experience transitioning to other UC college libraries, as well as the benefit of using a site tested and designed with library users in mind.

Looking for something from our old site that you don’t see here?  Check out our 90-second library website tutorial, or stop in and ask a staff member for help.
