Studying in the Library

The Leeward CC Library aims to provide a learning environment that supports the success and well-being of all students. To achieve this, we curate various spaces for diverse learners and their needs.

Tips for an optimal study experience

Know your study zone. Be mindful of those around you. The library has two study zones: collaborative and silent.
Keep it to yourself. Always use headphones and play the volume to a moderate level to limit sound leakage.
Keep it clean. Deposit your trash in the receptacles in the stairwells.
Need power? We have many outlets and charging stations around the Learning Commons.
Need headphones? Go to the circulation desk on the main floor to borrow a set.
Need to print? Send your print job to the printer located on the main floor. More info
