The FRCC Westminster Library Staff congratulates all students graduating this Spring. Learning is a lifelong process. May you continue to grow and thrive.
Please don’t forget that your library card expires when you are no longer a student. At this point, you can create a card with the Westminster public library downstairs. Doing so will enable you to check out materials from both libraries.

As you study for finals, please remember the library. We have study rooms for individuals and groups. If they’re taken, the public library downstairs has study rooms that are available by reservation. Additionally, the back part of the library by the west staircase is quiet. There is also a meditation room to help de-stress.
As the semester winds down, don’t forget to explore the fantasy mystery bags. Each bag explores different themes related to fantasy. Summer is the perfect time to relax with and explore other aspects of your favorite genre! For those of you that will be returning this summer we look forward to serving you then! Around May 20th, there will be travel and adventure related mystery bags. Be sure to stop by and check them out!
