After using temporary spaces in the Warner Public School Building and upstairs over the Overstreet Building in downtown Warner, the College moved to its current location in 1911. <br /><br />From 1911 until 1951, the library occupied a room on the third floor of the Classroom Building, the first and oldest building on campus, built in 1911. In 1951, a two-story building was constructed in the campus center. It housed the library and audio-visual room on the second floor and science labs and classrooms on the first floor. The building was named the Jacob Johnson Library after the Connors' president who served from 1933-1965.<br /><br />In 1985 a new library was built on the northwest side of the campus. Named after the then current president, Carl O. Westbrook, the one-story Westbrook Library Learning Center houses the Library, a reading classroom, an auditorium, a distance education classroom and the Office of the President.<br /><br />From very modest beginnings in the mid-1980's that included a shelf of reference materials available for Muskogee Campus students at the Muskogee Public Library, a Library Service Center was opened at Connors' Downtown Muskogee Branch Campus in 1989. The Muskogee Campus Library has grown to occupy half of the eighth floor at the downtown campus location in the historic Haskell Building.<br /><br />The Muskogee Campus Library currently offers students at the Downtown and Three Rivers Port Campuses the same services afforded Warner Campus students including reference, interlibrary loan, computers, Internet access, copier, fax, magazines, newspapers, online databases, typewriters, videos and online catalog.<br /><br />Connors' Libraries provide access to online databases and to over 80,000 resource items including books, periodicals, microform, videos and digital formats. Both locations are open over 60 hours per week. A service-oriented staff is available to assist students, faculty and staff with their information needs.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/97634679580379836-3969398022256171433?l=cscwestbrooklibrary.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Margaret Rigneyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01292302707184587780noreply@blogger.com0
