Welcome to the RCC Library!

Students (both off-campus and on) can request books, laptops, and hotspots. There is a section below detailing how to request each type of item. 

RCC Laptop Checkout

Students with a Blue Cleared Pass can come into the library to check out a laptop for the semestser. Off-campus/non-cleared students, will have the items mailed to you. After requesting it, please send an email to Linda.Sing@rcc.edu to give your mailing address.  Please see the instructions below.
