About the Library
The Fred L. Mathews Library is a hot spot for studying and relaxing between classes. In addition to an extensive collection of scholarly resources, the library also offers the latest book, movie, and music releases for checkout.
The library features private and group study rooms as well as access to computers and printers. A reference librarian is always on hand to help you locate the materials you need, both on campus, via online databases and through interlibrary loan.
All SMC students have free use of the library and may check out items with their SMC student ID.
The library is also home to the Carole A. Tate Teaching and Learning Center (TLC), through which students may receive free tutoring and writing assistance. Learn more about the TLC here.
Students on the Niles Campus may also request that library resources be sent to the Niles Campus for pick-up in the Niles Teaching and Learning Center, giving them full access to library resources.
