[ CertificateProgram ]



After this Spring Semester, Library Technician classes for the next two academic years (2010-11 & 2011-12) have been suspended due to state budget cuts.  We are sorry for the inconvenience this will cause out students and prospective students.

The Library Technician program at Imperial Valley College provides training for persons working in or desiring to work in a library on a technical level as well as retraining for those reentering the labor market. Library Technicians work independently or assist librarians in the basic operations of a public library, a school library, or an academic or special library.
