Thank you for making National Library Week such a wonderful success!

The COD Library is so grateful to everyone who stopped by, participated in the Scavenger Hunt and Bingo, and helped celebrate the importance of libraries and community.

Please note, because the Book Giveaway has received such a positive response, we are extending it through Monday!

Students (and COD Employees) may stop by the COD Library to choose free books until we close at 7 pm or while supplies last.

Thank you again to everyone who helped make National Library Week such a meaningful and joyful celebration. We appreciate our campus community so much!

Celebrating Puerto Rico & Puerto Ricans at the COD Library

COD Library has a new display honoring Puerto Rican history, culture, and voices, featuring one adorable frog and some bunnies of...self-described "bad" behavior.

For humor’s sake, all bunnies are pixelated...but we promise we aren't trying to censor anything! If you want to see the real display in person, swing by the library (first floor of the Hilb Building)! The display will be up through Thursday, February the 12. Hint, the pixelated poster is a an enlarged version of the Creative Commons image from the baddest bunny's Wikipedia page.

Come learn, browse, and vibe with us!
