Walter R. Peterson Library and Learning Commons

The Library and Learning Commons in Streeter Hall is a space to study, relax, meet up, use computers and printers and to get help with college assignments from NCC tutors. For current hours, please see the library website. [https://library.nashuacc.edu]

• research assistance for assignments and papers
• basic technical assistance (with MS Office, printing, Canvas, Zoom)
• computers, printers and scanners
• meeting space for groups
• laptop and classroom technology lending

Tutoring and Writing Center

Drop-in math and writing tutoring by faculty members and professional tutors is available to all students, free of charge.  Most in-person tutoring happens in the library.

Students can also access 24/7 online tutoring in many subjects in all Canvas courses. The tutoring is chat-based with audio and video options. See https://library.nashuacc.edu/home/tutoring

Library Website

NCC students get 24/7 access to an extensive array of online resources, including search tools and citation resources, databases and ebooks, research guides and streaming videos. On the website, find links to chat or email with library staff. https://library.nashuacc.edu

Computer and Printer Access

The library has 15 desktop computers equipped with software for student use and also provides short-term loans of laptop computers. Library staff can assist students with SIS accounts, Canvas, Zoom, wireless access and basic software.

The library has one black and white printer, that requires Easy Login. Each term, students get an allowance for free printing and need to pay for printing that exceeds that limit. Wireless printing is also available. 

Lost or Damaged Library Materials

When library materials including laptops are damaged or lost, the borrower will be billed for the replacement costs. Until the student’s library liability is cleared, a hold placed on the student account will prohibit registration for future courses and/or receipt of transcripts. Any library materials obtained through interlibrary loan are an extension of the NCC library and therefore are bound by the same return policies.
