The H.F. Davis Library, located on the Colby Community College campus, is much more than just a place to check out books and reference materials. The library, under the direction of Carolyn May, has expanded its services in many areas.
The library now houses movies and educational videos for checkout. Students and community members are encouraged to come to the library, read a variety of magazines, play a Wii game, use the computers, or just enjoy watching the fish in the new large tank donated by Johnny Moorhous of Oakley.
PlayStation, XBOX and Wii games are also available for checkout. Fridays are especially popular for patrons because freshly-popped theatre popcorn is available for everyone.
Future plans include a media center which will allow students and community members to produce and edit video programs.
“Shelves were dismantled in the library to make room for the media center,” said May. “The shelves are being donated to the Chapman High School library, where a tornado devastated 80 percent of the town. The college is hoping to borrow a large trailer to transport the shelves to Chapman. Anyone with a large trailer who is willing to help with this project should contact associate librarian Rosanne Allen at 460-4689.”
The H.F. Davis Library is open Monday through Thursday from 8 a.m.-8 p.m., Friday from 8 a.m.-5 p.m., and Sunday from 1-5 p.m. For additional information, contact May at 460-5487.
