Children in the Library

• Children under the age of 16 are allowed in the library while they are being directly supervised by the adult responsible for them.
• Children are expected to adhere to the same use policies as adult patrons.
• Due to safety/liability reasons, if a child is left unsupervised and the librarian is unable to easily locate his/her guardian, the Safety Office will be called (ext. 3350).
• If a child wishes to check out library materials, a parent or guardian with a student ID, staff ID, or a community borrower card may check out the items for the child. They will be responsible for the return of the checked out items and fines and fees if applicable.

Gifts

Holman Library does not accept gifts of books, periodicals, CDs, DVDs or other materials at this time. Monetary gifts may be made through the Green River College Foundation.

Monetary gifts may include restrictions, providing they are pre-approved by the Director of Library and Media Services. Please indicate your gift is for Holman Library.

Computer Use

Current GRC students are welcome to use any computer in the lab.  Computers are available on a first-come-first served basis.  Librarians and student tech workers in the lab are happy to assist students.

Community members and non-current students may use four "public access" computers in the lab which have access to the internet, but no software apps or printing capabilities.

Group Study Rooms

Group Study rooms are only available for current GRC students and are occupied on a first-come, first-use basis. Student groups with members present will take priority for room use. Holman Library does not accept reservations for the upstairs Group Study rooms.

The first priority use of the Group Study rooms on the second floor is for student groups to work on academic study or presentations. Individuals using the Group Study rooms may be asked by a librarian to move if a group needs to use the space.

White board markers are available for student checkout for use in the Group Study rooms with a student ID card at the Student Help Desk on the second floor.

Media Lab (HL 112)

The Media Lab is available for current GRC student-only use.

Library Classrooms (HL 213 & 217)

HL 213 and HL 217 are available for library instruction and student & employee use when classes are not in session. Library instruction is provided by a librarian or other faculty member in collaboration with a librarian. All instructional activities must be scheduled through a librarian.

The first priority for the use of HL 213 or HL 217 is instruction in the use of library databases and internet resources for research and general information retrieval.

The second priority, particularly when there are no seats available in the main Information Commons, is individual student & employee use of library databases, Microsoft Office applications, and internet resources. 

Other instructional activities in HL 213 or HL 217 may be scheduled on an occasional basis but will not take precedence over priorities 1 and 2. Because of high demand for the resources available in the main Information Commons, HL 213 and HL 217 are usually available for individual student & employee use between 9:00 a.m. and 2:00 p.m. Monday through Friday.
