Library services for students
Whether you're stuck on a research question, unsure how to cite a source, or just need help getting started, Library staff are here to support you with this and so much more.
Visit us in person at any campus library location, by form or, use the AskAway chat box—available on our website and in many of our databases—to connect with a librarian in real time.
For more ways to reach us, see Locations, hours & contacts.
AskAway is a province-wide service provided by BC college and university libraries, and while it is not always CMTN Library staff you may be chatting with, it is often available even when our library is closed.
Beyond books
Students at CMTN can borrow snowshoes, fishing rods, bikes, DVDs, tablets, laptops and more from the library to make the most of their experience in the Northwest.
Bike share program
Did you know that you can now check out a bike from our campus libraries? All you need is a Coast Mountain College library card to check out a bicycle for on- or off-campus riding. A great way to explore the community or get some exercise between classes. Check a bike out today!
