SVC LIBRARIES ARE OPEN: For Students

Laptops/Hotspots and course materials

SVC can loan you a laptop and/or hotspot for the quarter. 

The Libraries on both campuses are open Mondays, Tuesdays and Wednesdays from 9am-4pm until further notice. Library staff is available during these hours but if you need alternative arrangements, please contact us at 360-416-7837 (Mount Vernon) or 360-679-5322 (Oak Harbor).

Students are welcome to come into the library to check out library materials, course reserves, and technology. These items will be checked out on a quarterly basis and will be due back at the end of the current quarter. 

To renew your checked-out library materials at the end of the quarter, make sure you are registered for the following quarter and contact us at  library.circulation@skagit.edu.

Mount Vernon: To return materials that you have checked out, the Mount Vernon Campus Library has a book drop available behind the library, along the sidewalk.

Whidbey Island Campus: The drop box is located in the walkway between Hayes Hall and Oak Hall. The lower level parking lot provides easy access to drop off library material. 

Overdue fines will be excused while the library remains in remote operations.
