The GCC Main Campus Library has become a hotspot of supernatural phenomena. Seven ghosts have been spotted haunting the halls and stacks. 

Help the librarians banish these ghouls by completing the Haunted Library Scavenger Hunt, learning about the library as you go. Earn candy, stickers, extra credit (for participating instructors), and a raffle ticket for a prize drawing. Just stop by the Main Library Reference Desk to pick up your ghost map. Hurry! These ghosts are driving us mad!
 

Looking to vote in the November election… stop by the library reference area and take a look at our Voter Information Display.  Here you can find information about what you need to do to vote in the general election.  As well, you can read up on some of the important measures showing up on your ballot. 

November is National Novel Writing Month. Every November, writers around the world join together to pursue their goal of writing 50,000 words of a novel in just 30 days. Sound crazy? It is, but it’s also great fun and a wonderful opportunity to connect with other writers. No previous novel writing experience is required! GCC will host 4 in-person write-in sessions featuring writing sprints to help you reach your word count and enjoy great conversation with other writers.

Join us on Tuesdays between 3pm- 4pm in the GCC Main Campus Library Classroom (L-138) on the following dates:

• November 5
• November 12
• November 19
• November 26

In this one-hour, in-person session, students will set up a free NoodleTools account and learn easy ways to create citations, organize their research for class assignments, and use NoodleTools to produce a perfectly formatted Reference or Works Cited list. Extra credit opportunity for students of participating instructors.
