Lowered water fountains are on each floor. If any library patron is in need of emergency assistance, a refuge alarm is located on both the second and third floors of the library next to the elevator door. Just pull the alarm and wait at the location. When the alarm is pulled, the college's Public Safety Department is automatically notified and Public Safety Officers will be dispatched to the location as soon as possible. A separate entrance, close to the handicapped parking, is available for patrons with mobility impairments.
Access is by key card only.
Qualified patrons wishing a key card must submit an application with the Coordinator of Special Services. A Visual-Tek, a video magnifier which can enlarge reading and writing material up to 60 times its original size.

It is designed for individuals who are blind, visually impaired, dyslexic, reading disabled or who have other difficulties accessing print. It is housed in Special Services room 160 at the rear of the Reference Room.
