Library Policies - NC Community College Students
Welcome to the William Madison Randall Library. We encourage your use of all library materials, facilities, and reference services. Please inquire at the Reference Desk for assistance in using the Library's resources and services.

The fee for this card is $7.00 but it is waived for students 65 years of age and older.
