JSCC students can use their student ID to check out books from the JSCC Library. Please bring your student ID when you come to the library. If you do not have a student ID, you can have one made in the Student Center.

Community patrons can get a library card by coming into the library with their driver's license or state-issued ID. Community patrons will be issued a red library card for use at the JSCC Library.

JSCC Library is unable to issue a library card to a patron who does not have proper ID.

JSCC students have access to the library's Data Center. Students start each semester with a $45 print credit (450 pages) on their accounts. Please log in at the library check-in desk before using the computer in the Data Center. 

 At this time, we are unable to offer wireless printing from personal laptops, tablets, or mobile phones.

The Academic Assistance Center is located upstairs in the Library building. The AAC offers tutoring and supplemental learning materials, and it has a computer lab that students may use. 

Students in Gibson County, Lexington, and Savannah can get academic assistance at the Learning Resource Center on each campus.

Students can schedule an appointment with a librarian at the JSCC Library to receive assistance with research. When making an appointment, please be as specific as possible with your research needs in order for us to better assist you. Appointments can be made online HERE.

Books automatically renew once - no need to call us! If you need a book for a longer period, please contact the library at 731-425-2609.

JSCC Library does not give fines for overdue items, unless the item is not returned by the end of the semester. At that time, all overdue accounts are sent to the business office for processing, and a hold is placed on the patron's account. The business office charges a $20 processing fee for overdue accounts.
