Announcements & Information

Fall 2021 Semester Reopening Updates

Dear San Diego Miramar College Students,

We look forward to welcoming you back! We are glad to announce that, beginning with the Fall 2021 semester, the Miramar College Library will be open. Service hours will be limited as we move back into full service. To maintain the safety of staff and students, face coverings are required when on campus, as per the California Department of Public Health's Guidance for the Use of Face Coverings. Students must agree to follow COVID-19 safety precautions and guidelines shared on our Miramar College website

Virtual services will also remain available through the Miramar College Library website. You can connect with librarians for research assistance or get help with general questions from library staff. Physical books will continue to be available for checkout and in-library use. Interlibrary loan service between the SDCCD campuses will resume as a regular service.

Beginning November 1st our library service hours will be extended to: 

  • Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays from 9:30am to 3:00pm
