El Camino College Library

Great library and staff… Longer hours, it’s a college. The resource center is the best.
Sonny and the other staff are very proffessional and knowledgeable…

My appreciation has grown over the years for this library. At first glance inside, the place may seem small but there are different wings and rooms that can be explored.
Their help desk is quite large and can be very helpful on the first day of the semester with hundreds of students getting their I. D stickers or having questions. They have three or four wings that have plenty of tables with chairs and electrical outlets! They even have rooms with white boards for group studying that does not bother the rest of the library!
Their book reserve provides a fairly large selection of books, which is a money saver! They copy machine room is located right by the book reserve which is convenient, however it can get very crowded!
The computer lab is located in the basement and it is top notch! There is the main room with the help desk which can be full depending on the time of day. However, they have two other rooms with computers that they open up, just in case the main room is all fully occupied. They individually have students log-​in to each computer that avoids lines at the door.
My favorite portion of the library has to be the mini museum display that they change up every month or so. They usually do a DC Universe display in the beginning of Fall semester and it is great! They have posters, books, action figures! They even have episodes of The Justice League animated series playing in the lobby! Whatever the showcase is for that month, they provide art, actual displays, and interesting information!
I’ve taken classes in the other campus in Compton and seeing their library, I will not take this library for granted!
