We welcome students, employees, and community members in the open spaces in the OC Libraries. Student use is always prioritized.
OC Libraries' Library Use policy applies to all patrons.
HL 127 is a classroom in the Haselwood Library that consists of 32 internet-connected computers and a teaching workstation. The room was designed, built, and outfitted primarily for information literacy (IL) instruction, and may, secondarily, serve as an open-access computer lab.
IL workshops delivered by library faculty have priority over all other uses of the classroom.
When not in use for IL instruction, the room may sometimes be made available as an open computing lab.
IL instruction and open computer access constitute the intended uses of the room.
HL127 is not available to be reserved for study hall, alternative classroom, administration of exams, or multi-day training sessions.
All computer use must follow IT's “Rules & Policies” regarding acceptable behavior.
Study rooms in the basement of the Haselwood Library may be reserved by students who need space for individual or group study, or who are meeting with tutors.
Excepting Room 005, study rooms are reserved using the sign-up sheet on a clipboard outside the room.
Room 005 is a contemplative space and cannot be reserved. Use is limited to 30 minutes. Patrons who need access to the collection may enter the room at any time to access the books.
Students may opt to share a room with others by using signs provided for that purpose.
Room reservations are only held for ten minutes past the reservation time. After ten minutes, students without a reservation may use the room.
Reservations are limited to two-hour intervals with a maximum of two hours per individual/group per day.
If individuals or groups reserve more than two hours, the reservation/group will be removed by staff.
If a room is not reserved, the space is available on a first come, first serve basis.
See the Study Rooms page on the OC Libraries Services Guide for more information!
The computer labs within OC Libraries are overseen by IT and they determine the polices.

The OC Libraries offer displays as a valuable part of our engagement and outreach efforts. Displays provide patron education, promote library resources/collections, and provide opportunities to collaborate with our OC campus community, as well as our broader Kitsap/Mason County communities.
OC libraries may also create online topic guides which contain relevant resources and information. When relevant, links to these topic guides may temporarily appear on the library homepage, e.g. highlighting Constitution Day, Banned Book Week, etc.
The library welcomes suggestions and collaboration opportunities for displays and topic guides. If tied to a certain event or program, suggestions should be made in the preceding quarter.
Display Goals:
• Highlight the diverse holdings of our collections
• Provide education on timely & relevant topics
• Nourish intellectual and creative growth and contribution
• Support OC curriculum, events, and programs, and celebrate accomplishments
• Promote the Mission, Vision, and Values of Olympic College
Criteria for Topic Selection includes:
• Availability of display space and employee capacity
• Connection to community need & interests
• Historical, cultural, or educational significance
• Relevance to college curriculum & Libraries’ collections
• Adherence to ALA’s Intellectual Freedom policy
In the event a patron has a concern regarding a library display, they can fill out a Statement of Concern about Library Resources form. The form can be submitted to librarians@olympic.edu
Library faculty will acknowledge receipt, and a review committee will be formed. Determination and reasoning will be communicated to the complainant within a month of receiving their completed form. If this written response does not satisfy the complainant, appeal may be requested through the Vice-President of Instruction.
