Library Offices and Professional Development Center
In the secret netherworld of the library are staff offices, workroom, video storage, and periodicals storage. This is where the library staff do all the important behind-the-scenes work. We acquire and pay for books, keep inventory records, process library materials, plan library development, write reports, and eat sandwiches!
Within the office area is the Professional Development Center. This faculty and staff work area contains four computers with, a video viewing station, notes from NWACC committees and workshops, many books of professional interest, current issues of education-related journals, and tutorial videos for Microsoft Access and Powerpoint, in addition to a video series on Critical Thinking.
