Policies and Procedures

Library print resources will be available for checkout and delivery only to currently enrolled Cerro Coso students, faculty and staff residing in the CCCC service area, and attending classes at the college's distance sites of Kern River Valley, South Kern, Bishop, Mammoth or Online. This delivery service excludes students, faculty and staff residing in the general Indian Wells Valley and Searles Valley area.

All distance learners will be issued a library privileges upon filling out the online library card application if they are not already in the system. Verification of current status will be checked.

The Cerro Coso library book collection catalog is available online on the CCCC web page through Library Catalog. After determining which book(s) (limit of two) to request and borrow from the Cerro Coso Library only, the requestor must fill out and send the information by the "Book Request" form below. Upon receipt of the request, the requestor will be advised by e-mail of availability and if available, the books will be sent within two working days via US MAIL in a mailing envelope with a preprinted return label enclosed. Return postage will be the responsibility of the
borrower. Delivery will be to home addresses or P.O. boxes only.

Books will circulate for no longer than three weeks. Reference books do not circulate. Renewals may be requested by e-mail to rjordan@cerrocoso.edu and are dependent upon whether the book has been requested for checkout by another person. Overdue books cannot be renewed.

Failure to return borrowed library books when due will result in a "hold" and charges being placed on borrower records. Please make every effort to return books in a timely manner so that they are available to other users. Borrowers who lose, mark or damage borrowed books will be required to replace items at their own expense.

All transactions involving mailing library print resources will be available only to those eligible persons residing outside the general Indian Wells Valley and Searles Valley area, but within the Cerro Coso service area.

All address changes for distance borrowers should be e-mailed by the borrower to rjordan@cerrocoso.edu asking for the files to be updated. Please address all questions about these policies and procedures to the above e-mail address.
