Welcome back! We are SO excited to have our students back on campus!

Pictured is our Olean Learning Commons crew on the first day of classes! We are ready for another semester of learning, laughter, questions, and plenty of “Can you help me with this?” moments.

Here’s our official first day of school picture to kick off the semester! We’re so happy to be back and can’t wait to see all of you!



Three smiling Learning Commons staff members stand together for a “first day of school” photo in the Olean Learning Commons. The three women are standing side by side with their arms around one another, smiling at the camera. They are dressed casually and wearing employee ID badges. A campus service desk and windows are visible in the background.

We'll be here all week.

Just a reminder that libraries keep curiosity alive and communities connected. 💙

Essential then, essential now and forever.
If you’ve got a card, use it. If you don’t, this is your sign to get one. 💳

What's your first memory of going to the library?

Yesterday, we celebrated Cynthia Horton McKane on her upcoming retirement. Cynthia has spent her time at our library teaching and supporting thousands of students, dedicating hours of her time advocating for the library, and supporting the JCC community in any way that she can. She is a vital asset that will be greatly missed. Thank you for your hard work and dedication, Cynthia. Have a happy retirement!
