The American College Library is an integral part of the teaching and learning environment of the College. The Library aims at maintaining an adequate, quality collection, comprised of curricular and co-curricular material and to meet the educational needs of students as well as the professional needs of the College’s faculty and administration staff. In addition, the Library aims at  satisfying a wide range of interests and inquiries with particular attention to the College’s areas of study.

The College Library is specially designed for reading purposes with plastic flooring and double-glazing in order to reduce noise. The Library has a large seating capacity and it is ideal for studying in peace and quiet. Photocopying facilities are also available during library opening hours.

The book section, with thousands of volumes, consists of highly specialized books covering all areas associated with the College’s curricula. The library subscribes to the Search Bank Databases through its Internet facilities, providing users with access to thousands of magazines and highly specialized journals on topics like Business, Computer Science, Hospitality Management, Humanities and the Social Sciences. In addition, the Library continues to provide users with hard copies of popular magazines and journals. The videotape section includes many academic and professional videotapes.

Library collections are well organized and are arranged for efficient retrieval at the time of need. The Library provides its users easy access to books, periodicals, journals and other reference material through search options from computer terminals. A user can track down a book by simply entering the author’s name or the book’s title. The user can also search the database by subject so he/she can look at every book that covers a specific topic. The Library uses the DEWEY decimal classification system for organizing the collections.

A qualified librarian is available to assist and advise library users on library procedures throughout the Library’s opening hours. During orientation, students are introduced to the Library’s indexing system and available facilities.
