April is Here...

Which means it's time for midterms, and then spring break from April 8th to the 12th! We'll be closed during that time, and we hope everyone has a fun, safe and enjoyable break, and you'll all be well rested and ready to go for the remaining semester!

For those of you who have to study over break and need help from the library, we're still able to help you! Check out our library research guide Norco College Library Access 24-7  to find out what resources we have available to you, anytime you need them.
