CCC Recycling

Contra Costa College is not only home to many college students, but also to HIGH School students from Middle College High School (MCHS). You may see us running around campus in big clusters, going from one class to another, or hanging around the amphitheater or rec room during lunch time. We are just high school students CONCURRENTLY enrolled in college!! Isn't that cool??

Well anyways, you may be wondering why I'm talking about MCHS.....it's because we're in charge of keeping our campus Eco friendly!! The MCHS leadership class helps empty out all the BLUE recycle bins to keep our school clean. Now, we're planning to place about 400 blue recycling boxes around each classroom so that we can increase the earth friendly act, as well as earn money from the recycling. I've seen a lot of recyclable materials being thrown in the trash, when it should have been thrown in the BLUE recycle bins. The school loses money from this because it costs them to have the garbage truck pick up the garbage, but it's free to pick up the recycles. So if you have any papers, bottles, or other recyclable materials, please...please...PRETTY please make sure to throw them into the recycling bins.

LIBRARY!! FINALLY!!

Ladies and Gentlemen....I'm pleased to announce that the LIBRARY is officially opened!!! Today was the first day of opening the very sleek, and fancy library. A lot of attention to detail was put into planning and building this library. Even the library's granite countertops are fancy, with its unique triangle cut edge....yes I notice little things like that :)! They also have a new machine where you can self check out books, just by first scanning your id card, then the barcode on your book, just as if you were the librarian!

Well if you have not gone to see the spanky new library...get to it!! I will upload pictures of the library soon!!

Last Day/ DEADLINES!!

Hello CCC students!! This is just a little reminder of very important deadlines for the Month of September....

• September 14 is the Last Day to choose Credit/No Credit




• AND the last day to withdraw from a semester-length class without a "W"
  
  

Don't WAIT to drop your class, or choose credit/ no credit. There is only 4 more school days until September 14th!

LIBRARY UPDATE!!

The Library is moving September 7!!!

Wheee!
Let's do it again!

The CCC Library will move back into its remodeled building on Friday, Sept. 7 (again). Since school is in session for this move (we’ll try to stay put this time), we will need to make some temporary changes to the availability of library services for a couple of days:

• Sept. 7 (Friday) -- 8am - 12N Library-teria will be open as usual until noon in its SA Bldg space.

• Sept. 7 (Friday) -- 12N - 1:45pm The Library will offer LIMITED SERVICES in the LISC/Fireside Room, providing study space and computers. Reserve books & telecourse tapes will NOT BE AVAILABLE, as they will be in process of being moved.

• Sept. 8 (Saturday) – Library will be CLOSED for unpacking.
  The Library will REOPEN at 8am on Monday, September 10, 2007.
  

Thank you for your patience and understanding with these changes, with the confusion of the past month, and with the limitations of the past 2 years. If you have not been peeking/sneaking into the building, you will be (like us) quite pleased with its beauty, new layout, and new “stuff!”
